Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

When I click the Add button in User Settings, nothing happens, I'm not even presented with an authorization dialog. The only error indication I can find is that on starting, the application outputs the following string to stderr:

(users-admin:2641): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating asynchronously with the backends: Malformed message was sent

I can't perform any other actions either, such as deleting user or administer groups.
