KDE user management makes system unusable when deleting user with non-existing /home dir

[Christian González]

IMO this is critical.
Steps to reproduce (in Kubuntu hardy)

- make sure you have a testuser with a home director,y e.g. "sudo useradd testuser"
- delete his home directory: "sudo rm /home/testuser"
- Open KDE systemsettings, go to user management.
- click on "administrator mode", get root.
- delete the testuser - you get asked if you want to delete his home directory too.

But if this directory doesn't exist (like in this case) - you're about to delete /dev/null as root.

If you go on, your system will be extremely unstable due to a missing /dev/null.
It is there again at the next boot, but this is not necessary.

I've tried reproducing the problem, but I'm not able to. No matter what I do the /dev/null is still present at my machine.

Please try reproducing it again and running the user management from terminal ("sudo userconfig") and provide any output it gives.

Funny - I'm not able to reproduce it neither any more. Maybe there was an update and the bug was fixed?
IMO it can be closed.
