Bug Description
The userconfig screen has a rather cryptic secondary group configuration. I have included a bit-rewritten userconfig script as an attachment which adds a new tab for secondary groups and privileges (the privilege list needs to be expanded, clearly). It's mostly feature complete but it actually needs something very important: the secondary groups list needs to be updated when the primary group is changed in the other user edit window tab, and I don't really know how to do that.
Please diff it against the new code. My edits are clearly marked RRR and FIXME if there's anything needing a fix. Hoep this helps.

The script. I would have made a diff but I overwrote the old file. At least let's give python kudos for making it so much easier to edit software inplace.
