But the damage is already done and before you figure this out your
things will get broken in a really subtle way (such as brigthness keys
not working in xfce).

Anyway, I took some time to reproduce the problem and found both gdm
and console login to work without any problems (even though my $SHELL
was not in /etc/shells). It's like PAM is not setup to check if you
have a valid shell?
