[Bug 583430] Re: kubuntu userconfig can silently delete group membership, causing loss of privileges

[Yuriy Kozlov]

Thanks for reporting this.
I think only showing the groups the user is already in (secondary groups + current primary group) makes some sense, but I am not sure.
I'm also not sure if changing the user's primary group should make the old primary a secondary, but as you explained the display implies this and is incorrect.  The other option would be to remove the user from the group entirely, and the display should reflect this.  Possibly the intention was to make it a secondary group as it shows but there is a bug in actually saving it to the right place.
