Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

When looking at the advanced tab of the users-admin application in the "Shell:" drop down box '/usr/bin/screen' is listed as a shell even if screen is not installed. In the event that screen is installed gnome-terminal quits right away however you can log into a vty. I noticed this using gnome-system-tools version 2.20.0-0ubuntu1 on Gutsy.

Comments from upstream:

"I find the whole description quite confusing... system-tools-backends just
lists the available shells, if screen is not installed, it can't be listed, and
it has been doing that since a long time ago... regarding gnome-terminal/screen
interaction, evidently g-s-t doesn't have anything to do there."

On a fresh install of Hardy Heron I did not see screen listed as an available shell anymore.
