Gallery Remote and Gallery inside Geeklog

Can someone on the Gallery Remote point in me in the right direction to debug the following problem:

I have Gallery installed and I have used Gallery Remote to access this install.

I wrapped Gallery inside Geeklog and now Gallery Remote is unable to connect. It reports failed log in and bad password.

I _assume_ that the problem is that Gallery has disabled its user database as part of the Geeklog integration.

Is there a way (short of installing a second Gallery setup with shared database) that I can get Gallery and Gallery Remote working?
