DBUS Should Support "Session Groups"

Bug description:
Binary package hint: dbus
In my lab, there are lots of users in an LDAP database. These users
are assigned to the groups audio,video,plugdev,etc. by pam_group
(using the /etc/security/groups.conf file). The problem is, DBUS
doesn't recognize users as being in groups unless they're in
/etc/group, which isn't practical for our setup. So, there are
permission problems with USB sticks, kpowersave, etc. (well, there
*will* be, once I upgrade from Dapper to a more version of Kubuntu).
On my laptop, I can use (the kludge) "adduser $uname plugdev"... this
won't work in the lab.
