Sorry for the late response, this dropped off the radar :-(.

Anyway:

- AIUI gdm uses the UID_MIN value from /etc/login.defs, to display your user you need to lower this value again (probably along with GID_MIN).
- system-config-users can't change your user picture, this is done e.g. in System Settings -> User Accounts (which is a different thing)
- To debug the crash, please run system-config-users from the command line (e.g. a terminal window) and post any output (e.g. error messages, a traceback describing where it crashes).

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 16:34:41 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
