The cause of this was that my account did not have the 'Administer the
system' privilege granted in users-admin. This account was originally
created pre-warty, which I don't think had this option. Until a recent
update, this account was running fine.
I think this is an upgrade issue. The problem also cannot be resolved
manually without resorting to the command line, as users-admin is the
supported way of tuning this flag on and users-admin was one of the
missing sysadmin tools. So to fix, you need to go to a command line and
run 'gksu users-admin', and toggle the privilege on your account.
