OK, that's the more likely scenario - sometimes knowing more leads to
more problems... ;-)
Could you open a new report about the main group problem? I'll see if I
can put together a not-so-ugly patch before 2.30 is released. But I
consider this bug as fixed for the first error.

Usually I prefer to use a simple "useradd -m", it was the first time
ever I tried the GUI for this simple task. And I checked the group
properties just to be sure that everything is fine. I did not realise
that the group is actually created, so I tried to do it by hand. Call it
a misunderstanding b
Cool. For the main group problem: the group is automatically created,
it's just that it's not shown right after adding it. Do you have a
precise reason to immediately go to the groups dialog and try to edit
this group? Fixing that bug currently requires a few hacks that I'm not
sure I can commit no
That's it! Now it works fine. No freeze anymore.
But still: If I add a new user, I would expect the tool to add a group
of the same name and set this as the main group for the new user as it
happens with the initial default user on system installation.

Oh, I think I understand where the second issue comes from. Could you apply the
attached patch and retry? Save the file, and then run:

Yes, you are right, it is two different errors:
On creation of a group I get a permission error.
On adding members to a pre-existing group I get an unknown error.
But in both cases I get this temporary freeze prior to the error
message.

Thanks for the report. I think there are several different issues at
stake here.
First, when creating an user, its main group is creating under the hood
