Did you log out and log in between the transaction where rpm.i586 was
installed and the point where you fixed rpm manually? Copying the rpm
files manually cannot break the login. rpm does not have anyhing to do
with that.

rpm.i586 did not install itself, it was installed during a package
transaction, and the reason why the login is now broken might be linked
to the reason why rpm was broken. But rpm is clearly not the reason why
the login is now broken.

I can't really help you here because I have no idea how the login
process works. Since you cannot even log in to a console, X is not the
problem and since you cannot even log in to a new account, nothing in
your home directory can be the reason.

So the reason must be something involved in the login process. How does
the login process work? Try to investigate in that direction, associate
it to packages and then verify that these packages are correctly installed.
