Of course, it would be slightly better to fix users-admin not working as root, rather than showing an error message, just in case some very special distributions or users need this. But I'd accept a patch showing a dialog too if it's well written... I don't think translators will mind - if you think it's worth your time, they will take a few seconds to translate it.
But for the message, it wouldn't be specific to users-admin, rather common to all tools, so something like "This program shouldn't be run as root. Please run it as a normal user and let it acquire privileges when necessary." would be better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685215 Title: users-admin hangs immediately when run as root -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
