Hmm... I never did verify whether X was actually using bash (in my case /bin/bash) or not. Maybe "Use default login shell for this user" really means "use tcsh, which is the default shell for users"? That doesn't sound right, but does jibe with the facts. This sounds like an upstream problem

I don't think there would be a file telling X to look there, it is a more unix level thing that if it doesn't think you have a valid login shell (as listed in that file) then it will at best use the "default" which seems to be tcsh, and at worst, refuse to do anything at all. So you'll have to try
