Bug#681682: gnome-control-center: uid < 1000 ignored in User Accounts; should honour /etc/login.defs UID_MIN

[Conrad J.C. Hughes (for Debian package stuff)]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.4.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

I've just upgraded to wheezy from stable, and my user no longer appears
in the greeter nor in System Settings' User Accounts list.  It may be
modern policy for Debian that user accounts should not be created below
UID 1000, but for account compatibility with a large number of other
machines, NFS, Mac OS etc. my UID is 501.  After logging in (have to
click "other" and type my username), if I try System Settings->User
Accounts, I get a dialogue with "My Account" and "Other Accounts"
sections; there's nothing under "My Account", even though I have clearly
logged in and must have an account...

This may be an upstream issue, but as far as I can see Gnome fixed this
two or three years ago by honouring /etc/login.defs' UID_MIN setting.

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
