From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020401 Description of problem: While using user manager in KDE, I cannot create more than one account per session of the program. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Log in as root in KDE 2.Start user manager 3.Create an account 4. Attempt to create a second user Actual Results: Pressing the new user button on the toolbar does not bring up the entry dialog. You must quit the program and restart it to add another user. Expected Results: New user entry dialog should appear after new user button is clicked. Additional info:
I just tested it in Gnome, it works fine there. This appears to be a duplicate of Bug 62308 where KDE window manager is not honoring WM hints. redhat-config-users works fine in KDE, except the new Add User dialogue is appearing beneith the main window the second time you use it. If this is in fact a duplicate, then this is a kdebase component bug.
bshotts, are you running the program from the command line? If not, try doing that. Perhaps there is a traceback or error message that you can't see if you run it from the menu. Also, you should upgrade to ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ Fileredhat-config-users-1.0-10.noarch.rpm since I've fixed some bugs since 1.0-8. Does 1.0-10 make the problem go away?
Correction, grab redhat-config-users-1.0-11 instead.
redhat-config-users-1.0-10.noarch.rpm (11 not on the rawhide site) fails to come up with the follwoing error messages: redhat-config-users (pid:1672): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib redhat-config-users (pid:1672): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers redhat-config-users (pid:1672): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "raleigh", redhat-config-users.py (pid:1677): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib redhat-config-users.py (pid:1677): Gdk-WARNING **: can not set locale modifiers warning: failed to load external entity "./redhat-config-users.glade" redhat-config-users.py (pid:1677): libglade-WARNING **: document not well formed!

How long does it take for new packages to reach rawhide? redhat-config-users-1.0-11 is not there yet. subversion 10 is indeed broken with the same error above.
It usually appears the next day. redhat-config-users-1.0-12.noarch.rpm is there now. Can you give that a try?
tested -12.noarch.rpm. It no longer crashes like -10.noarch.rpm, but it doesn't fix the original problem that is most likely the KDE window manager not acknowleding WM hints in Bug 62308.
Ok. At the very least, we tracked down some bugs in redhat-config-users...they just weren't bugs related to this particular problem. I now agree that the behavior here is a KDE problem. The New User window appears on top the first time. But every time you launch the window after that, it appears under the parent window. I'm going to dupe this against bug 62308 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 62308 ***
