   An update that has three recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:


   This update for gdm fixes the handling of smartcard readers
   in gdm. Now it  is possible that the username that is being
   provided by the smartcard  reader is automatically filled
   in.

   In addition, respecting the setting of
   DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="no" in
   /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager was  implemented in gdm.
