[Bug 37722] specified User ID is not respected for new user

[Luka Renko]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kde-guidance (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Dapper with all updates. kde-guidance version 0.6.3-0ubuntu1.

If I add user with Users & Groups module in System Settings and specify
specific User ID (assigned to me by the company IT admin) it does not
get used when user is created - user is assigned next free UID from
default range (1000+), in my case 1001.

I had to manually edit /etc/passwd and change ownership of files in
/home/<username>
