Bug Description

[Impact]

Users don't receive any info about the errors in the backends (liboobs and system-tools-backends) when they run users-admin tool (unless they run it from the terminal).

It's already fixed in Debian and Ubuntu 15.04, but the package remains unpatched in 14.04 and 14.10.

The attached patch makes users-admin show the message dialog with the description of the error that happened.

[Test Case]

You'll need unpatched versions of liboobs (3.0.0-1) and system-tools-backends (2.10.2-1ubuntu1) installed.
Run users-admin from the terminal. You'll see a warning message in the terminal:

Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating asynchronously with the backends: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 255

But the users-admin GUI won't show this message - that's the bug.

[Regression Potential]

I consider the regression risk to be low here. The patch has been already tested by me and gnome-system-tools maintainer in Debian (see the corresponding Debian bug report).
