I've just fixed this problem upstream by checking that an UID free before creating the user. If that's not the case, a dialog is shown. This will sadly not be available in GNOME 2.28 because this would imply modifying strings, and that's too late for that. The bug described in the last comment

Much thanks for achieving that painful task. Comparing with normal behavior of the backends, it seems that everything is working fine, i.e. it's waiting for calls from D-Bus - which is quite sad for solving this bug... :-p So it could be more of a D-Bus issue. Could you run 'sudo dbus-monitor

Another question: do you see an important delay when starting users- admin for the first time? It could be that the timeout is reached for some reason, while subsequent calls go faster. If these don't help, we can still go into the gst/liboobs code to get the D-Bus returned error codes more
