Hi,
If the administrator has set up profiles (we do by default in Ubuntu)
then if a users home directory differs from that which their profile
would suggest (e.g. root on Ubuntu), then changing anything about
that user will change their home directory.
Please see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523180
and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198172
for more information.
The attached patch fixes this by using the user's home directory if
they already exist.
Thanks,
James
