Having trouble adding user to multiple groups at once through gnome groups applet

Bug Description

I installed pulse audio server which gave me three groups: pulse, pulse-rt, and pulse-access

I went in the users & groups applet to add 'andy' to these three groups. I tried to add him to all three groups at once.

I logged out, I noticed he was only in "pulse". So then I tried again, selecting both pulse-rt and pulse-access.

Another logout revealed he was only in "pulse" and "pulse-access". Selecting him for pulse-rt and logging out a final time made him appear in all three groups.

Expected behavior: andy should have been added to all three groups after one logout.(?)

P.S. I checked what groups he was really in by typing "groups andy"

I cannot reproduce this in Ubuntu 9.10, steps:
1. Add three groups test1, test2, test3
2. In Users and Groups select Manage groups and for each group add a user to it
3. Check contents of /etc/group

Is it still a problem for you?
