Bug Description

The new mate-user-manager may be useful for Xubuntu. It's similar to gnome-system-tools for user management but significantly more capable.

https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-kinetic-kudu-release-notes/#mate-user-manager

> A new utility, User Manager, has been added to complement the suite of MATE tools. User Manager replaces the aging gnome-system-tools which was removed from Ubuntu MATE in the 22.04 release and allows you to add/modify/remove user accounts. It also includes the ability to define which users are Administrators, enable/disable auto-login, set profile images and manage group memberships.

mate-user-admin does seem more capable, but the design is rough and feels pretty out of place in Xubuntu. We'll continue with what we have.
