Qingy Is Not GettY / News: Recent posts

- Starting X sessions for users with a shell other than bash
should no longer fail with strange errors
(this occurred at least with tcsh)
- added support for selecting a random theme
at startup (just use 'random' as theme name)
- added support for screen savers
- added a screen saver: pixel
- added option to select which framebuffer device to use
- updated text mode login for increased security
- no longer necessary to create a /etc/directfbrc file:
now qingy creates automatically file /etc/directfbrc.qingy
(thus other DirectFB apps are unaffected) with
hopefully the proper resolution already detected.
Note: you need the 'fbset' program for this.

- correctly changes tty ownership
- Hopefully solves PAM issues
- Added option to close DirectFB mode before shutting down,
so that you can see your system shutdown messages
- Added option for hiding last user name
- Added option for hiding password chars completely
- Now ENTER in username field pass control to password
- Now qingy reverts back to text mode login if something
goes wrong with DirectFB
- Message "Login failed" now appears for 2 seconds
- Various fixes and clean ups (memory leaks, allocation failures...)

- Added PAM support
- Added --silent option to avoid diagnostic messages on
stderr
- Various clean ups

A new version is already available. This one has full support for themes, as well as changing the default one to Ant.

Finally!
After much development (I'm just one lone programmer) a First Public Release!

I hope you will enjoy using qingy as I did coding it...
