Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

  Add button -> Create New User dialog:

  Expectation:
     dialog claims to accept the special character "." dot in Short Names (as well "-" hyphen and "_" underscore)

  Actual:
    attempting to create a user with a "." dot results in the error: "The configuration could not be saved\n You are not allowed to modify the system configuration."

  Using an "_" underscore or "-" hyphen works as expected.
