This is really not a 'fix' per se.  It is more like a workaround
as it disables PAM without having to recompile X.  Or at least that's
the way I read it.

Surely there is a way to really use PAM authentication?  If this *is*
the official fix then I should probably commit it to src/etc/pam.conf
because everyone setting up a new system is going to run into this
very same problem if they install X.

BTW, thanks for the quick reply. :)
