kde overcomes this problem by adding '_#' to the usergroup in case it
allready exists. (ie 'admin_1').

The same problem would btw arrise as soon as you add a new user with any
name where a group with this name (gui<10000) already exists. So in any
case gnome shoul first check, if the GUI allready exists and if so
either error or name the group differently.

I think this is a quite dangerous bug, since it affects especially
inexperienced users which rely on the gui. Destroying the user groups
managment with a username should not be possible.
