Just so someone is aware this *IS* a continuing issue.  Last night I
updated from 2.6.35-28 to 2.6.35-30 and on reboot was unable to login to
the GUI.  I was able to login to the TTY session however.  By making the
two edits to /etc/pam.d/gdm I was able to login to the GUI successfully.

Thanks to ehpc, I didn't really want to rebuild this system...

Title:
  'authorization failed' at gnome login

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  System: Ubuntu 8.04 hardy 64bit

  I have had my system set to auto login for quite some time now. I
  temporarily turned that off. When the gnome login shows up before I
  get a chance to enter my username or password an error pops up stating
  'authorization failed'. Clicking ok just makes the same error occur
  again. All I can do is ctrl+alt+backspace and ctrl+alt+del to reboot.
