Unless I missed the post, there is a command for displaying the groups a user belongs to. Its called "groups" funnily enough.
# groups username
will return the groups that user belongs to.
Then to modify a user account - including add another group to that user - use the "usermod" command funnily enough.
# usermod -G newgroup,group1,group2,... username
will add "newgroup" to the list of groups that user belongs to. Make sure to include all the present groups though.
See:
# man groups and # man usermod
For more information.
Regarding you query about having to re-login to initiate new user and group settings. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but won't:
# su - username
allow you to perform a full login as though you logged in directly.
See:
# man su
For more details.

Yes, I'm running KDE session. Thanks for pointing that out - I'll logout and login again and hope it will work then.
