Actually I have committed a fix in August that allows you to choose a UID/GID up to MAX_UINT32, because we use this type in the D-BUS spec of the backends. So that should be good for what you asked. See http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-system-tools/commit/?id=7469b0c617021f9b9b9ca1dcd3386e9379bb82ec
So I'm marking it as fixed, please confirm that I did not miss a hidden problem.
