+In the mela that is pre-release, I forgot that it was Olav who pushed
+the new version of GDM, not myself. I had rediffed and converted all the
+GDM patches relating to plymouth transition in my build, but Olav just
+disabled them (knowing I'd already done the work).
+
+So I've updated gdm and submitted it for rebuild. Should be all dandy
+again shortly.
+
+Thanks for pointing it out!
