Bug Description

A user accounts plug should be created that can:

- Create accounts
- Remove accounts
- Edit a user's first and last name
- Set a user's avatar
- Add a user to Dexter automagically
- Open a user's contact data in Dexter
- Set a user's account type
- Change a user's password
- Enable/disable the guest account

I've attached a mockup of what this might look like.

Hey Daniel, I was thinking of taking a crack at this. Do you want to update the mockup at all, or are there any tweaks you would like to make?

From a quick glance, I'd say use the more common GTK3-style add/remove toolbar at the bottom of the left pane. Which would mean you could likely remove the "Remove account" and "New account" parts.

I'm also not sure how the cancel/save buttons factor in here. Perhaps we default to a read-only sort of view and have an icon in the bottom left toolbar (next to the add/remove) and then have an info bar with a save button while editing?

Feedback from Dan is welcome. ;)

Okay here's a new design.

I've excluded features to do with contact editing/viewing since we're currently not shipping a contacts manager.

What account types are there?

The difference between User and Admin on *nix is the ability to use the 'sudo' command, am I right?

What happens if a user belongs to several groups? can't see how to work with that scenario in the UI mocks... Should have an option to add and remove groups...

Yes I am, in two weeks I will have finished my final exams at which point I'll be able to finish the code.

Could you please share your thoughts on the add user workflow (should it pop up a dialog, if yes, what fields should appear there, if not, should it be inline in the plug? e.g. by temporarily adding a password confirm entry)? What about changing the user picture? Could we use a Gtk.PopOver there?

Would be nice to be able to change the username too. In case of typos during installation.. <_<
