Bug description:
I installed 8.04 LTS server on a system.  Then installed ubuntu-desktop using apt.  Installed Nomachine's NX server and connected to it.  

The unlock buttons on Users and Groups or Network are greyed out and un-accessible.  Tried running from a term 'sudo users-admin' with the same results.  

Works fine with VNC and NX "Shadow" session however this is not really acceptable as it means a session has to be running on console first.

I have tried to enable every option in Authorizations to allow the remote session to have privileges to no avail.
