Bug Description
Originally reported using reportbug. Filing by proxy.
Original report follows:
From: Marc SCHAEFER <email address hidden>
To: Ubuntu Bug Tracking System <email address hidden>
Subject: gnome-system-tools: Creates user with wrong UID
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 12:25:12 +0200
X-Mailer: reportbug 3.18ubuntu1
Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 2.14.0-0ubuntu11
Severity: normal
I have created a user using adduser in the past, worked correctly.
I then created through users-admin, however the files were created with
owner == the UID and GID of the user I added with adduser previously.
Moreoever, adding with adduser installs the Examples link, but not the
Desktop/trash, and users-admin does the opposite.

It looks like two separate bugs filed here: one for "creates user with wrong UID" and one for "adding with adduser installs the Examples link, but not the
Desktop/trash, and users-admin does the opposite".
Carthik, perhaps you could file a separate bug report for the latter - of course, checking first for already-existing reports on the same problem (?).
