Bug description:
[Impact]
Users don't receive any info about the errors in the backends (liboobs
and system-tools-backends) when they run users-admin tool (unless they
run it from the terminal).
It's already fixed in Debian and Ubuntu 15.04, but the package remains
unpatched in 14.04 and 14.10.
The attached patch makes users-admin show the message dialog with the
description of the error that happened.
[Test Case]
You'll need unpatched versions of liboobs (3.0.0-1) and system-tools-backends
(2.10.2-1ubuntu1) installed.
Run users-admin from the terminal. You'll see a warning message in the
terminal:
Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating
asynchronously with the backends: Launch helper exited with unknown
return code 255
But the users-admin GUI won't show this message - that's the bug.
[Regression Potential]
I consider the regression risk to be low here. The patch has been
already tested by me and gnome-system-tools maintainer in Debian (see
the corresponding Debian bug report).
