I finally found out that /etc/pam.d/wdm is responsible for me not being able to use wdm (extra/x11/wdm). Neither pam_cracklib.so nor pam_console.so exist (on my system = arch default ?). Also, pam_pwdb should be named pam_unix in all 4 instances, and lastly the absolute path names should be removed (like in the rest of the files in /etc/pam.d).

I don't know much about configuring pam, so there may be more possibilities in tuning that.
This task depends upon

modified /etc/pam.d/wdm to reflect the one included in xscreensaver. verified that /var/log/auth was updated on successful/failed logins.
