Heh..  its hard to mention all the relevant parts, we have such a
complex setup here you sometimes just have to assume certain pices are
working.  It appears that this nss-ldap issues is breaking a pam module
(not used by GDM) as well, which is what brought my attention to this.
If you find the bug number, I would be interested in reading up on it.
