Hi Darryl,

I've not included the text of your post, as I wasn't quite sure where to
snip it, if at all :-)

I've posted some bug report numbers at  that may or
may not be relevant. The package for users-admin ( the GUI for Users and
Groups) appears to be

$ dlocate /usr/bin/users-admin
gnome-system-tools: /usr/bin/users-admin

See below for bug URLs - as I say, I just picked some that seemed
*possibly* relevant, after reading the comments

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/4738

You might want to do a search for gnome-system-tools bugs yourself at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs

It seems you are not alone in having weird happenings from using this
tool, if that is any consolation - but I don't know the actual answer,
sorry. That might explain why you have had little response to your
questions ( maybe no-one quite knows ?)

I just thought, rather than people remaining entirely silent, this could
set you on track to sorting the problem out. It could be worth digging in
the gdm bugs too...
