We should make DrakX add users created on "desktop"-like install classes
to the pppusers, games and audio groups by default.
And userdrake should be improved so it provides a set of clickable
checklists giving the list of groups a user can be member of (but not showing
them as gid numbers or group names, but rather as capabilities; eg:
The user can: [X] print, [ ] do PPP calls, [ ] access the modem,
[X] play music with soundcard,
[X] access read/write the floppies and ZIPs,
[X] read the CDs & DVDs (audio and data)
[ ] burn CDs, [X] use the scanner, [X] play games,
...
that list should be shown when pressing a button labelled "detailed" or
something like that; and pre-filled according to the current security-level.
Yes, I know, for 7.2, but definitively a think to have (that will be also
a very nice improvement over other distros AFAIK)

I think that is alread the case (if not printerdrak is seriously bugged;
configuring two queues for a printer: ghostscript and text, is required
for proper usability on a mixed Windows/others network)
