So, when I 'su' or 'su -' to a user's account, all his groups show up.

But apparently, when the user logs in, he only sees his primary group

This is on RHEL5.5 and using gnome-terminal. Groups and users are on
LDAP - getent group shows correct group access, etc. I turned NSCD off
just to make sure it wasnt a broken cache.
His gnome-terminal profile is configured to use his shell as a login shell.
What obvious simple thing am I missing here?
gnome-terminal lies quite often about it actually creating a login shell. If
he's already running in an existing gnome sesssion, have him exit completely
log out and log back in to see if that starts showing all his groups.
