New Revision: 12019

URL: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-gnome/?sc=1&rev=12019
Log:
* Stop imposing the DPI settings; this was a quick fix that users may opt to
  do, but the correct thing to do is to fix the Xorg configuration on these
  systems or fix the generation of this config; document this in
  README.Debian; closes: #278026, #339707, #364545.

+In the past, as a quick workaround, GDM imposed a 96 DPI settings by

+there's no reason to override standard DPI detection mechanisms for all
+screens which might or might not be 96 DPI screens.
+
+DPI should be computed automatically based on the information on your
+screen that Xorg gets; ideally, Xorg would get the DPI right, but you
+can help Xorg by configuring it with your exact screen properties.
+  If it's too complicated, you may still get the old behavior by
+setting:
+    [server-Standard]
+    command=/usr/bin/X -dpi 96 -audit 0
+in your gdm.conf.  See the defaults.conf file to see how it's configured
+by default.

+Screen Saver
+------------

 If you want a screensaver running with the greeter, you should use the
 BackgroundProgram option in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, or make sure if you start
 a gtk program in the PreSession script, that it is started with the gdm

 into all the parts of the GNOME desktop that it would now impact.

+Translation of the Debconf templates
+------------------------------------
+
 A note to translators about the debconf templates -- translations
 should be sent to the xdm package.  I don't use gettext-based
 templates in the source, because I sync to the ones in the xdm
 package, and don't have any that are not shared.
