Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
Changing a User ID (or Group ID) in the "User Settings" dialog has no effect.
Furthermore, adding a new user gives you no opportunity to set the User ID.

Glad to know some people are actually using that feature! ;-)
I think that's fixed in the system- tools-backends 2.10.0, which I hope will be uploaded soon to Lucid.
