I had to reboot.<br></div><div><br></div><div>There's a chance there was already a home directory for the new user (I didn't<br></div><div>reformat /home when I installed Debian 13), but if so the KDM "new user" widget<br></div><div>didn't look for it and set uid:gid in /etc/passwd to be the same as in the home<br></div><div>directory.
