Comment 9 for bug 259163

The new users-admin is not really best designed for systems with hundreds of users, since it takes more vertical space than the old one: see the column on the left of the dialog at [1]. I'm not sure that's a real problem, though. What we could do is sort users by login, and use gtk_tree_view_set_search_column() so that you can type-ahead the beginning of the login to find an user. How does that sound to you and Edubuntu people?

(Anyway, the biggest problem for now is that we don't support LDAP, but that's another story...)

This bug is not high in my priority list since I have to fix all regressions before we enter feature/UI/string freeze, and then I'll start tackling this kind of little issues.
