Description Mathieu Jobin 2016-01-04 01:38:01 UTC

I just created an account for my son and tried to change his login icon

but changing the icon set it to my account instead of his.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. opens system settings -> user manager
2. chose a user different then self
3. click icon button
4. choose load-from-file and then choose an image file
5. click open



Actual Results:  
image is set to own account instead of other account

Expected Results:  
It was expected my son's account would have his icon set.

Do not allow to change avatar of other users

The current location of the .face-file in the user's home does not allow to change other user's avatar in a clean manner. Problems arise when the home directories are encrypted. Then for each user the avatar was changed a password for each user would have to be entered. The simple solution is to not allow to change the avatar of other users. Hopefully in the near future a better solution will be available.

This was fixed a little while ago.
