    Gnome 3 and adding a new user ... ...

    Okay this may sound stupid but I can't seem to add a new user in gnome 3, well I can add the new user, just can't set a password which means I can't actually log in with the new user info.

    Nothing comes up for adding a password when I add the new user.

    So this is how things go.

    click the power cog (system settings)

    select system settings

    then select user accounts.

    the it has to be unlocked to make changes

    once in you then click the + button and enter the info.

    however nothing comes up for entering a password ? which then means if I log out and select the "new user" I get asked for a password, and nothing works.

    Now I know 11.10 has only just gone beta, but surely having a field for entering a password when you set up a new user is a very important feature, or did I miss something ?

    I can switch to a guest session with no issues, but that's not quite the same, wondering if I can then change stuff from the guest session ? or is it likely to require a password ?

    I've attached a screenshot of the options that come up when trying to add a new user, like I said there's no enter a password field, you just select standard or administrator fill out the name fields and click create.
