You have two problems, two threads? Makes it kinda hard for us to follow. IIRC, if something changed your /bin/bash then your box may have been compromised. On the same box, you have a program, gdm, that asks for a password and is also misbehaving. If this box is connected to the net, you may find that your password is known by someone else now. Take this seriously. If it were me, I would disconnect the box from the internet and wouldn't reconnect it until either I had proven that it wasn't compromised or I had overwritten the disk and reinstalled, and only restored from pre-troubles backup with more recent backups getting a good look (e.g. check for changed permissions).
