If I knew of one I would surely pass it on but I am a Unix user 
specifically (this whole LEMLists.com thing is taking up ALL my time 
right now) and if I could take the time away I would reinstall X and 
check it out myself.

If you can use the command line (as SU) try these commands:
groupadd "group name"
usermod "username" -g "group name"
That should change the user you made to the other group as his 
primary group. If that doesn't work use "-G".

I am sure another Unix admin can correct me on this if I am wrong or 
give more specific instruction there.
