Thanks Chris! But we really don't need to backport 2.10.1, 2.10.0 will be enough. 2.10.1 only brings in a few improvements that are used by the gnome-system-tools 2.32, which are not in Lucid. This removes most of the changes (in terms of lines of code), which makes the SRU even safer. --

The gksu issue is not related at all, since users-admin doesn't use it (else, that would mean it's running as root). I suspect no user is shown in the list, or the current user isn't. Is it the case? Can you test that by creating a test user using 'adduser' in a console and check if it's enough?
