Thank you for reporting this bug. I can confirm that changing passwords
using the GUI does not take effect until you logout and login again.
This does cause a password change. Unfortunately, the user must know to
logout and login since there are no information messages to inform as
such. Once the user logs out, the old password will not work to login
again.
There should be a WARNING message generated by the password change that
states the change will not take effect until the user logs out and logs
back in.
** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-system-tools
