OK, this sound more logical. Any chance you could run the system-tools-backends in gdb to identify the precise source of the error? You should install the debug packages for your version (2.8.2-1) and architecture from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/s/system-tools-backends/ Then you should

So we should put the icon and text together in a button, and let GTK+ choose to display the icon or not, just like it's done since Karmic for all (standard) buttons. This is much like the old Unlock button, after all. We'd need a comment from an usability engineer here, because it's not really

Yeah, I was aware the patch was not about the very same problem, but I preferred testing that one too, since the problem here is very strange - some cleaning is always helpful. So you say using userdel solves the issue. Are you completely sure of that? I.e., does that work even when rebooting

I've investigated a little more how we are getting the minimum UID for normal users, and it seems that /etc/login.defs settings are used if present, rather than those from /etc/adduser.conf. Could you try editing that file too? Though, I don't know why those two files are present, since some of
