I've observed that new Ubuntu Linux users have difficulty figuring out
how to change their login password. It's not obvious to them that they
can:
1) do it a GUI way via the "Change Password" button if only they think to open
"System -> Preferences -> About me"
2) do it a CLI way by opening a terminal window and typing "passwd".
3) do a different GUI way via System -> Administration -> Users and Groups ->
properties
Could we add a "Change my password" item to the System -> Preferences menu that
brought up the existing "About me" dialog with the "Change password" button
pre-selected? Or add a new division to the user/logout widget with
"About me ..." and "Change password ..." items between the users and the
logout/shutdown options?
