   The fact that grpck -r returns no errors tells me it is there.   
   Get back into Manage Users,   
   o Click Options, top of screen   
   o un-check Filter system users   
   o click the Groups tab   
   o click the "Group Name" text/column name twice     :)

   Not really, when I have problems, I click up a few terminals, run   
   su - root in one of them then the command   
   tail -f  /var/log/messages   
      
   In another terminal, as the user, run   
   tail -f ~/.xsession-errors   
      
   I then run the failing command in a third terminal to see if anything of   
   interest shows up in any of the terminals.   
      
   You can do a "Control c" to abort the tail -f commands and "exit"  to close   
   the terminals. A Control d should also close a terminal when at the prompt.   
   That assumes no space, tab, or any other characters on the line.
