This bug was fixed in the package gnome-system-tools - 2.22.0-1ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-system-tools (2.22.0-1ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian (LP: #242880). Remaining changes:
    - Make it possible to create a group by using the tool by not
      ignoring the group name that was chosen. (LP: #205144)
      This is debian/patches/85_users_fix_add_group.patch.

      - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488249
    - change from svn, correctly configure the network interfaces,
      thanks to the different people who worked on the issue (lp: #185854)
      debian/patches/90_from_svn_correctly_configure_interface.patch:
      - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=526137
      - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488250
    - debian/control, debian/control.in: remove gksu from Depends, add
      policykit-gnome to Recommends; needed to press the Unlock button
      in network-admin, LP: #206198.
      - Ubuntu-specific as Debian hasn't enabled policykit.
    - If a user already exists then set the home directory text box
      to display their home directory, rather than the default for their
      profile. This avoids changing the homedir inadvertantly when
      a user's homedir isn't the default for their profile, in
      particular the root user on Ubuntu. (LP: #198172)

      - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488252
    - list the sambashare group as known so it can be used when adding users
      debian/patches/25_sambashare_group_definition.patch:
      - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
    - list the lpadmin group as known so it can be used when adding users
      (lp: #152107)
      debian/patches/24_lpadmin_group_definition.patch:
      - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
    - Add some extra known services for services-admin.
      - debian/patches/10_add_missing_services.patch
      - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
    - debian/patches/22_root_only.patch:
      - really remove this change which is not used nor required
      - Ubuntu-specific.
    - translate extra shares admin strings (lp: #200107)
      debian/patches/84_translate_extra_strings.patch:
      - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522276
      - Not needed in Debian, as they don't have extra translations.
    - Build-dep in libpolkit-dbus-dev >=0.5 to get policykit support.
      - Ubuntu-specific.
    - Update the internal model of users and groups with each operation, so
      that it does not become inconsistent with the real world in /etc/passwd
      and /etc/group.
      - This fixes random errors like "unrelated user was dropped from group
        admin", "deleted a different user than the one selected in users-admin",
        etc.
      - Patch backported from SVN head:
        http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-system-tools?view=revision&revision=4017
      - LP: #26338
      - debian/patches/23_users_update_model.patch:
      - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
    - don't Recommends gnome-control-center since the current version
      doesn't require it (LP: #137915)
      - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
    - Replace "Bootloaders" and "Runlevels" with "Services" and "Shares"
      in the description.
