There aren't too many times you really have to reboot. Maybe this is one of them. Maybe not. I reinstalled pam-0.99.8.1-17 then tried to log in and the problem came back. Couldn't login into X. Then switched to VT1, logged in as root, did a 'telinit 1' followed by a 'telinit 5' and that looks like it fixed it. At least I can log in with gdm.
