Bug#773613: users-admin: group name limited to 16 characters

[Christopher Chavez]

Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 3.0.0-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am reporting the issue described in Launchpad #1371854 upstream
as I can reproduce it on Debian with gnome-system-tools-3.0.0-4.

In users-admin (a.k.a. Users Settings), under Manage Groups/Group Settings,
while the listed groups available may have more than 16 characters, when
viewing a group's properties the Group name field in Basic Settings only
shows the first 16 characters (e.g. "chrome-remote-desktop" is truncated as
"chrome-remote-de"). Additionally, this prevents creating a group with a
name longer than 16 characters using users-admin.

(I understand that the system limit may have been 16 characters historically;
man groupadd reports it is currently 32 characters.)
