Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

The file /etc/gnome-system-tools/users/profiles contains definitions of "type" of users (i.e. desktop user, administrator). It is used by gnome-system-tools->uses-admin. This file is a distro specific file (I believe as it is not in the upstream tarball). Mine is unmodified and reads:

[Unprivileged]
name=Unprivileged
name[es]=Usuario sin privilegios
default=1
shell=/bin/bash
home-prefix=/home
uid-min=1000
uid-max=6000

[Desktop]
name=Desktop user
name[es]=Usuario del escritorio
default=1
shell=/bin/bash
home-prefix=/home
uid-min=1000
uid-max=6000
groups=cdrom,floppy,dialout,tape,dip,adm,plugdev,fax,audio,scanner,fuse,lpadmin,video

[Administrator]
name=Administrator
name[es]=Administrador
shell=/bin/bash
home-prefix=/home
uid-min=1000
uid-max=6000
groups=cdrom,floppy,dialout,tape,dip,adm,plugdev,fax,audio,scanner,fuse,admin,lpadmin,video

As you can see, both unprivileged and desktop both have default=1. It is my understanding that only one of these should be the default. I'm not sure this should be fixed in ubuntu or in debian.
