Help! my user for admin is able to access most all system commands from the sudo terminal, but using the GUI users-admin, all the users except myself are grayed out, and even my settings for groups, etc, are grayed out and can't be edited. Something is wrong with the way 9.04 picked up earlier users or the home directory in /home (which had not been formatted over.

Error message in running users-admin from the terminal:

>sudo users-admin
>(users-admin 4423): **CRITIAL** Unable to look up session information for process '4423'

it then runs the app but in grayed-out mode. The odd thing about this is that command line user/group changes work fine.

Anyone have a clue on this?
