I think I've gotten to the bottom of it. I was surprised to find that
if i create a new user i can successfully change the home directory of
that user but that I was unable to change my own home directory or
that of another user who had a running process. This seems to be
because usermod will refuse to do so, complaining that the user is
logged in. That seems quite sensible so it seems that all that is
missing is for the GUI to report the error to the user in a sensible
fashion.
