I just messed up a fresh xubuntu 8.04.1 install by creating an "admin" user. It should be blocked in some way.

The 'Users and Groups' gui tool got broken and pressing 'unlock' resulted in a non-descriptive error message. admin users no longer had 'administer the system' checked, though they could still use sudo at the terminal.

I fixed (well it seems fixed as far as I can see) this by creating a new admin user:

adduser newadminuser
adduser newadminuser admin

then logging out of the "admin" user and changing to the newly created user then removing the "admin" user using:

deluser admin

After this the gui tools worked again.
