Missing User in GDM

So, sometime around the 3.12 update one of my users stopped showing up in GDM. It's my XBMC user, which I have booting straight to an XBMC session. Even after changing that to boot into Gnome, it still doesn't show up. If I log into Gnome as that user, go to Users in gnome, it still says it's not a user and no active users.

I've tried changing the user id to 1004 as I believe an XBMC update defaulted it back down to something in the 500's. Its shell is set to /bin/bash (not nologin) and I can't see any differences between it and my other users in /etc/passwd or with its group access or anything.

What am I missing?

Re: Missing User in GDM

Post your /etc/passwd file entry for the xmbc user and do a "ls -nd /home/[xbmc]" where [xbmc] is the user name of your xmbc user.
