OK, that's the more likely scenario - sometimes knowing more leads to
more problems... ;-)
Could you open a new report about the main group problem? I'll see if I
can put together a not-so-ugly patch before 2.30 is released. But I
consider this bug as fixed for the first error.

Cool. For the main group problem: the group is automatically created,
it's just that it's not shown right after adding it. Do you have a
precise reason to immediately go to the groups dialog and try to edit
this group? Fixing that bug currently requires a few hacks that I'm not
sure I can commit
Usually I prefer to use a simple useradd -m, it was the first time
ever I tried the GUI for this simple task. And I checked the group
properties just to be sure that everything is fine. I did not realise
that the group is actually created, so I tried to do it by hand. Call it
a misunderstanding by
The patch failed because my org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.service
is almost empty. This is the full file contents:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends
Exec=/usr/sbin/system-tools-backends
User=root
That's all, end of file, and none of the other files in the directory
No, it's just that I should have told you to patch the file
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.conf. :D

That's it! Now it works fine. No freeze anymore.
But still: If I add a new user, I would expect the tool to add a group
of the same name and set this as the main group for the new user as it
happens with the initial default user on system installation.

Thanks for the report. I think there are several different issues at
stake here.
First, when creating an user, its main group is creating under the hood
by adduser, and we don't show it until the tool is restarted. This is a
known problem, but it's not easy to fix properly, at least in a stable
Yes, you are right, it is two different errors:
On creation of a group I get a permission error.
On adding members to a pre-existing group I get an unknown error.
But in both cases I get this temporary freeze prior to the error
message.

Oh, I think I understand where the second issue comes from. Could you apply the
attached patch and retry? Save the file, and then run:
sudo patch
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.service

(You'll need to restart your computer after that
