GDM Upgrade
GNOME has decided to change and base their GDM version on the 2.24 tree. This version of GDM has a more modular architecture which will allow for more desktop level daemons to run. Things like closing your laptop lid to sleep while at the login prompt.

Whiteboard
2009-03-13: gdm-new is the ubuntu-desktop ppa and working, existing configurations are correctly used by the new gdm now too
2009-01-20 pitti: made some fixes, approved
work items:
* Package GDM 2.4 in a PPA or for Universe. [done]
* create migration code to convert settings from gdm 2.20
Jaap Haitsma: Is this upgrade still going into jaunty?? -> Pitti: no, this is preparatory work for Karmic
Jaap Haitsma: Should this not be nominated for Karmic?
Pitti: No, this is already implemented. We'll switch to the new gdm in karmic by default, though.
