Brian, it turns out it should work if you set the GConf key as root. That's not the intended behavior, only a workaround.
The long term fix would probably be to use PolicyKit or a similar solution, but it's not something we can do for gutsy. I'm leaving this bug open to let us remember that we need to switch to PolicyKit because of such bugs and to document the workaround. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Target: ubuntu-7.10-rc => None -- Gconf tweak to show all users / groups on system in Users and Groups tool has no effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
