[xubuntu-users] 12.10 Upgrade wrong User Permission

[John Deakin]

I have just upgraded to 12.10 and in doing so had to re-enter my
personal account information. On starting to use Xubuntu 12.10 I find
that my wife's account has been lost and when I went to User Settings to
add her to the list of accounts, I cannot. My account type has been set
to "Custom" rather than "Administrator" and I now cannot change any user
account settings.

Is there a way of invoking User Settings in a terminal with "sudo", or
is there another way?

She will be back soon and will have my guts for garters as she accuses
me of constantly screwing up her account. Help.
