So:

- is the fact that you change the password
What version are you using? Since 2.29, users-admin simply runs 'adduser

OK, you have a PolicyKit problem: you just need to have an
authentication agent running. That's why it works in KDE and not in
GNOME. Start /usr/lib/policykit-gnome/polkit-gnome-manager in the
background, and everything will be fine.
Now we need to find out why this daemon is not running
The fix has been released with the system-tools-backends 2.9.3, which
are not in Lucid yet (but as I said, that bug isn't really harmful there
since we won't remove all groups if the configuration is empty).

users-admin (System-Administration-Users and Groups) overwrites group file
This must be a problem with the install tool not adding the original
user to these groups. But they are kind of obsolete for most of them,
anyway.
