Talking GDM [Was: Voxin was: Switching to Linux]

[Janina Sajka]

Sorry about that. Don't think I can help much.

Unless the following is of any use ...

At each round of the development cycle, i.e. the odd numbered dot
releases, the GNOME people publish a "it's ready to build and break"
email that includes build instructions. I think they still rely on
jhbuild. There may be notes in there that might help.
