okay. let me try again! i think i left out some important information.
sorry.
i will tell how i did (and i can reproduce it:-) i
log in to a gnome session with my username. i then call user-admin. i
change that username i've just logged in with. since i now have to log
out to make the changes take effect - i do so. when i log in with the
new name all privileges like autio, cdrom, automount are just unset.
so! let me try this again, before i sent this report...yes it
happend again...confirming this!
it not only happend on this particular install. i can reproduce this. i
assume it is necessary to be logged in as that user, while you change
that user as root.
i hope it helps now!

regards.
