Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

I am not able to add a user using the gnome gui. I use:
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

1. Go to System > Administration > Users and Groups.
2. Press Unlock and type password
3. Add a new user (any name will do), but do 'testuser1' as example.
4. Close the dialogs again.
5. Again, go to System > Administration > Users and Groups.
the previously added user has now disappeared and can only be found in the manage groups dialog. No home directory has been made, I cannot do su 'testuser1'.

If it is the case that I am, despite providing my administrative passwd, not privileged to add users (strange if this would be the case), it is counterintuitive that I can still fill in the dialog and presumable add a new user.

version of gnome-system-tools: 2.22.2-0ubuntu4

As an attachment I will upload a screenshot video to clarify things.
