Just to clear up any confusion I will reiterate the comments in my
original post.  I am using an old, slow, AMD-K6 PC.  The problem I
raised is only apparent with this PC, although it works fine with other
applications (albeit s l o w l y ! ).  When I have tried the same Live
CDs in more powerful PCs, users-admin appears to work correctly.

A practical workaround is to add new users via terminal, rather than
GUI, commands.

My concern is that Xubuntu is meant to be suitable for "older" PCs, and
I believe that new users could have difficulty resolving the problems if
this bug cannot be fixed.  It is interesting to note that the Kubuntu
Live CD does appear to work correctly in this PC, including the kuser
GUI, especially as KDE apps tend to be "heavier" than XFCE/Gnome apps.

My experiences with this bug are that it never gives the same outcome
twice, indicating that it is likely to be related to the significant
processing delays inherent in old PCs.  This is why my original
description was "Users-admin fails with AMD-K6 processor".
