Add user - Gnome properties?

mjjohansen

I have looked for this issue, but can't seem to find it mentioned.
I have tried adding a user.
I use the lovely Gnome on Warty. When I add the new user, the login session fails, since it can't create the Gnome folders in the new user's home folder. I have tried creating a couple of the missing ones, but that is a kludge and not much of a solution.
Any pointers?

Code:

sudo adduser foo

Check permissions on the user home directory.

This worked as it should. It just confused me that the user administration GUI did not create all the necessary files, while the command line option did.
