I have the same problem in both users-admin and gdmsetup, though my problem may not be related to this bug. I accidentally deleted my primary user's admin privildges and had to add them back using gpasswd in a recovery session. This is when the problem started. I also lost all notification area applet functionality, despite regaining admin/root priviliedges. Perhaps there is a missing group membership that I haven't yet added back.
