I might have some news for you...

The problem is not obvious maybe because lots of people are using the GUI to create users BUT if you create a user in CLI with useradd you will bump right away in the problem.

on both Gutsy and Hardy the default shell of useradd is sh
useradd -D gives SHELL=/bin/sh on both.
At the same time /etc/adduser.conf has DSHELL=/bin/bash

Shouldn't the default shell be the same for both useradd and adduser?
