Hear, hear!

Yes, but if I can help it I would rather not subject the users to the
dark place. I would rather not assume that they even understand the
concept of "<Enter>" -- only of clicking "OK".

You disappoint me, Ralf. I'm quite determined to follow your own
advice and stay away from that "GNOME crap". :-)
Besides, on the workstations at my site, installing gnome-system-tools
would mean that 217 dependencies would come with it (119 MB of
archives, 342 MB of additional disk space). I'll write something
myself before I install all that.
> Why not running a script by a launcher?
Because I was hoping for something like "Menu > Settings > User Accounts".
Cheers,
Jaap
