Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
In Lucid:
1. In users-admin: Select a user different from your current user. If you need
to create a new one, this one gets selected after creation.
2. If you now - while the different user is still selected - click on 'advanced
settings' you will be able to edit the settings of the intended (!) user. Good,
so far.
3. Now let's suppose, the user clicks on 'Manage Groups' first, maybe because
he thinks that this would also offer user specific settings. Just in the moment
when the Groups dialog pops up, the user selection in the main window moves
'silently' to the currently logged in user.
4. After closing the groups dialog, the user may now clickt on 'advanced
settings'. It is likely, that he will not notice that he is editing his own
settings. If he has bad luck, he removes the admin group...
Expected behaviour: The selection should stay constant and should only
change on user request.
