Bug#274766: gnome-system-tools: doesn't add new users to necessary groups (i.e. audio, cdrom, floppy)

[Holmes Wilson]

Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: important

In the gnome "Users and Groups" tool, any new user added will not be 
given access to important groups, such as audio, floppy, or cdrom.   

Assuming   the purpose of making a 
GUI user-administration tool is to 
allow less-experienced home desktop users to create new accounts, this 
is a problem.  From the perspective of the new user added, the floppy, 
cdrom drive, and sound output will all be "broken".  To our 
less-experienced home desktop user (the target for the GUI user 
admin tool) it will not be immediately obvious why.

A simple prompt such as "do you wish to give the user access to floppy, 
cdrom, audio" (with a "don't ask again" checkbox) would solve the 
problem.
