I am experiencing this problem too (marked #463582 as duplicate) and my steps to reproduce include a new session - and even a separate user. So this bug seems to be generic for any kind of account deletion, even with the original user created by a clean install of at least Ubuntu 9.10.
The GIDs are the GIDs my users had. Steps to reproduce: 0. Login as administrative user (GID:1000) 1. Create a new user as Administrator (GID:1001). 2. Reboot. 3. Login as the new administrator. 4. Startup users-admin. 5. Remove the original user (GID:1000). 6. Close 'users-admin' and start it up again. Notice that the original user (GID:1000) is still there. I submitted this to upstream for my previous bug report. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600056 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #600056 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600056 -- [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458883 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
