I confirm this bug in Xubuntu Jaunty/9.04 64-bit

Actual result of this bug is that normal desktop user, using GUI application for removing and
adding the same user name, is not able to do that. And that should be basic thing on every OS
to be able to remove and add user with the same name. I suggest rising priority to this bug.

This bug is a possible duplicate, but the description is not exactly the same.
It worth checking if the fix works for that one as well, I think:
