i have forgotten to mention, that adding users didn't f##k up the system
in any way. it's just the gui app not showing anything.

and i already found out why was that in my case (i wish if all things could be 
fixed this fast! :)
in my case, my "Real Name" contained national characters, which showed up wrong 
in the /etc/passwd file. the system obviously didn't know how to handle these 
characters or something. after editing the passwd file manually, the gui app 
started to work again.
