Much thanks for the report. This was indeed a mistake : we were
identifying users using their UID instead of their login. When changing
their UID, we weren't able to find the user to apply the new settings
to. It's now fixed upstream and will be available in the system-tools-
backends 2.10.0, for Lucid.
Please continue testing Lucid and reporting bugs! May I give you an
advice? Please stay very specific about the bug you report. For example,
here, the bug is not that you can't hide users in GDM: this is just a
consequence of the bug. The precise problem is that changing UID is not
working as it's supposed to be. This will help triagers and developers
to fix the bugs you find.
