Maybe there is a problem with the DISPLAY variable and X11 connectivity. To test this, as root in the global zone, bring up a Zone Console, and login as yourself. If you can't login, there may be a home directory issue.
After logging in, set the DISPLAY variable to localhost:0 and run something like gnome-terminal. Does it come up properly labeled? If so, try it again, with DISPLAY=:0 --Glenn
