Details to reproduce it were to install Xubuntu 8.10, go to Add Users, change your password, exit Add Users. At that point, you can not use sudo for anything because you must log out and log back in. As I already said, this bug was reported against Xubuntu, triaged against Xubuntu, you changed things to reflect a gnome issue. It is still a valid bug in Xubuntu. Please move on and work the bugs that are not triaged, instead of the ones that are.
