As far as I know, Gnome (or at least GDM) _requires_ it to
be able to show the available user names. I have no idea
why. :-)

There are a few exceptions when files are owned by a daemon.
As I said, re-installing those parts (or even world) should
fix this, but maybe it's possible to apply some "mtree magic"
to fix the owner to the proper one (root in most cases).

That's a good example for the non-root exceptions; there might
be others.

Correct. That's why my printer filters are in /opt/libexec. ;-)
