This bug was fixed in the package gnome-system-tools - 2.29.3-0ubuntu1
---
gnome-system-tools (2.29.3-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* New upstream release (LP: #506365)
- Move to new System Tools Backends protocol (new liboobs API).
We now only commit changes to one user at a time, reducing the
risk for dangerous bugs.
- Include default profiles configuration file (user-profiles.conf).
Distributors should modify it to suit their needs and send them
back for inclusion.
- When creating an user, don't force UID, main group, home directory
and shell: these parameters are now handled (better) by the platform
tools (LP: #488158, LP: #313990)
- Allow removing home directory when deleting an user (LP: #426125).
- Don't allow deleting the last administrator account, and warn when
the user is losing its own admin rights. Same for active users
(LP: #25947, LP: #349453)
- Don't allow creating a group with an existing GID (LP: #491434)
- Use UID and GID ranges defined by liboobs, depending on the platform's
abilities.
- Clear suggested login entry when Real name is emptied in the new user
dialog.
- Change GConf showall option to apply only on users. System groups are
always shown, since they are the most interesting ones.
- Various UI and string improvements.
- Change password for current user by running 'passwd', to avoid
breaking keyrings and encrypted dirs
- Ask for PolicyKit authentication when it most makes sense, i.e.
when showing dialogs
- Option to set encrypted home directories when creating users (on
platforms that support it) (LP: #302870)
- When editing one group, only commit changes to that group
- When changing Real name, update it in the users list (LP: #498970)
- Select current user on start, and the first one after selected user
has been deleted
- Don't force updating configuration twice on start
* Also fixes LP: #344182, LP: #208057, LP: #188757, LP: #372695,
LP: #99276, LP: #160862
* debian/control:
- Bump liboobs-dev build-dep to 2.29.3
* debian/gnome-system-tools.install:
- Don't install debian/profile
- Install upstream user-profiles.conf instead
* Delete debian/profiles
* Refreshed patches:
- 25_sambashare_group_definition.patch
- 90_relibtoolize.patch
* Dropped debian/patches/85_user_gnome_about_me_for_password.patch:
- The change is obsolete in the new version
* debian/patches/82_gst-packages-time-admin.patch:
- Updated to remove superfluous UI file changes, causing focus issues
in the users-admin password change dialog. Thanks to Will for
spotting this (LP: #501976)
