I dont know if my bug really relates to this but i think so.
What i did:
I fiddled around with the user management in kubuntu (System Settings, User
Managament)
Added a user, and deleted him again because i couldnt login with the new user.
I moved on to the console and added a new user with useradd, which worked.
Now, when i open kdesu userconfig and try to activate the user (he was inactive
tells me the gui)
and change the standard shell for him i get the following output on console:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/userconfig", line 350, in slotModifyClicked

IndexError: list index out of range
Original exception was:

here is the relating line from /etc/passwd
sverikde4:x:1002:1003:Sven RichterKde4:/home/sverikde4:/bin/sh
Obiously the User ID ist not 0.
