Is this a bug? I have never had a problem logging in as a normal user with gdm or gdm2. How are you creating these users? That is, what are the perms on their home directories? What is your test user's uid? How are you starting gdm? What does ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/gdm-binary report? How about /usr/X11R6/bin/gdmlogin? Can you send your /etc/pam.conf file?
