I wondered if this would affect the Ticket #11058 problem that I've seen 
with recent Fedora 16 kernels, but all attempts to add another user to 
an existing group fail and now the User Manager window won't close. 
This looks like a question for a Fedora list, but does it ring a bell 
with anyone here?
