Which User Manager GUI? We're shipping several of them (none of them is related to the kdeutils package).
Assuming you mean redhat-config-users and reassigning.
I probably made a mistake when I tried to chioce the component for it. Forget what I chose. The GUI is: For gnome: gnomeicon-->programs-->system-->User Manager For KDE: Kdeicon --> system --> User Manager
Beta 2 was the first appearance of redhat-config-users in the tree. As such, it was not functionally complete. The version that shipped in beta 3 handled the basic tasks such as adding groups and users, with some editing capabilities. I bave finished the user and group editing screens, so everything should work now. There may still be bugs there, but it is functionally complete at this time. Both the bugs you mentioned should have been fixed for Beta 3. Please try with the version from beta 3 (redhat-config-users-0.7.0.noarch.rpm) and see if that doesn't fix the bugs you reported. Please reopen this bug report if you still see problems.
