Bug Description
When installing fuse packages like sshfs you will get a message telling you that you have to give the user special permissions to use fuse (you have to add the user to the fuse group).
The user management tool has a "user privileges" tab. It would be nice if packages like fuse could add "templates" like "Use FUSE mounts" which then would add the user to a given group.
[If fuse is already a default system group, perhaps it would be easier to add the "Use FUSE mounts" privilege setting to the dialog unconditionally]

Sorry if I change my mind, but I don't see how this could happen. We need a list of groups desktop users and administrators should be in, and it would be very complex to make that list dynamic. OTOH, it would be really easy to put in that list groups that *may* be used even if they don't exist, since we just ignore them.
