No one knows how to force a fresh copy of the base debian setup?? with overly impacting my present system ??? to take care of the xwindows and bash issuse????

If your bash executable and parts of xdm have been compromised then you should remove the system from the network and either reinstall from CDs/DVDs or recover from a known good backup. bash can be reinstalled by apt-get --reinstall install bash.
