• the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence resets the X server when in runlevel 5. In previous releases,
however, repeated use of this sequence prevented GDM from starting the X server as part of the
reset process. This was because GDM sometimes did not notice the X server shutdown properly
and would subsequently fail to complete the reset process. This update contains an added check
to explicitly notify GDM whenever the X server is terminated, ensuring that resets are executed
reliably. (

• the "gdm" user is now part of the "audio" group by default. This enables audio support at the login
screen. (
BZ#458331
433
)
• the gui/modules/dwellmouselistener.c source code contained incorrect XInput code that prevented
tablet devices from working properly. This update removes the errant code, ensuring that tablet
devices work as expected. (
BZ#473262
434
)
• a bug in the XOpenDevice() function prevented the X server from starting whenever a device
defined in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" was not actually plugged in. This update wraps XOpenDevice()
in the gdk_error_trap_pop() and gdk_error_trap_push() functions, which resolves this bug. This
ensures that the X server can start properly even when devices defined in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" are
not plugged in. (
BZ#474588

All users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. GDM must be
restarted for this update to take effect. Rebooting achieves this, but changing the runlevel from 5 to 3
and back to 5 also restarts GDM.
