Hmmm...
Removed /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default (which tried calling /usr/bin/X11/sessreg
which doesn't exist) and it's all running.
Not sure how that could have changed as I haven't been here. *shrug*

Subject: gdm/PAM won't log in
Hello all,
I have just got back from a month off and my desktop
Debian machine won't let me log in via gdm.
I can remotely log in, stop gdm, then log in locally and
start X manually. But if I use any good username/passwd at
the GDM login screen (including root), nothing happens except:
auth.log says:
PAM_unix[4530]: authentication failure; <uid=0> -> **unknown** for gdm service
gdm[4530]: Couldn't authenticate antti
I have tried a few things including resetting the password,
restarting gdm, looking at pam.d/gdm, frobbing init and in
desperation, rebooting. No cigar.
Any other ideas?
TIA,
Antti
