    	* gdm-safe-restart.in, Makefile.am, configure.in, daemon/choose.[ch],
    	  daemon/gdm.[ch], daemon/slave.c, daemon/xdmcp.c, gui/gdmconfig.c:
    	  The fifo is not only for chooser now, it is a general protocol to
    	  control some gdm things, more to come.  It's writing direct binary
    	  structs, but then again this is only a fifo and you should only be
    	  able to write to it from gdm and root account on the same machine.
    	  The daemon now knows when a user is logged in on a display and
    	  there is a safe restart option with SIGUSR1 to the daemon.  Also
    	  the daemon knows the x pids now and can whack the X server when
    	  the slave crashes, so that we don't get busy hanging server.
    
    	* daemon/misc.c: fails are LOG_CRIT not LOG_ERR (I hope this is
    	  correct)
