I got the hint here:

Hello Caudio, maybe friday I had 2 hours to try to reinstall some gnome
packages at my pc at work.

Now I'm at home with the same revision. Here genome-screensaver unlocks
fine (but here I have a german keybord, here is Deu behind the passwd-
field, this explains "GBr" mentioned before )

Hello Chris:
Both PCs have the same permissions
schro...@pcub255:/home/schroedj> ls -l /sbin/unix_chkpwd
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root shadow 30400 2009-09-04 10:26 /sbin/unix_chkpwd*

But next of my features at the don't working pc at work: my UID is used over 16 
years so it is only around 500 (won't change because there are a lot of nfs 
servers).
I know that the gnome-login-greeter also has now no option to show UIDs lower 
than 1000, maybe the "login-helper app" hangs there.
Will try it friday with a UID>1000.
