Title:
  Switching user account type from Admin to Standard in a case of single
  user.

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If there is no other admin accounts in the system, it is very
  difficult to switch account back. This is because we can't "sudo"
  anymore. The only way to fix it is entering single user mode and
  editing /etc/group. I think there should be some warning at least if
  the user is the only administrator in the system and he tries to
  become "Standard" user (by accident in my case).
