under "system>
i also cannot change settings of my own account, as if i am some user, but i am THE user..
everything is grayed out. so i could not, by any means add a new user, nor change my own settings.
when launching this application through xterm
$ sudo users-admin
i get following message:
** (users-
contrary the following works:
xhost +local:
sudo su -
export DISPLAY=:0
users-admin
