    So I see today on my 15.0/Stable install where all of the sudden, when I go
    to Settings/System/Users, the screen is blank.

    Of course the system isn't crippled, but I thought I would add a profile picture and an extra user account, but that's not possible at this point.

    Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance.

    Which graphical desktop is that?

    You can always manage your users using the passwd, pw etc. CLI tools if
    the GUI is broken.

    Gnome v47. Relatively new install, everything else works fine. Hate to
    think it is broken already. I will research further on how to modify and
    add users via the console, but most inconvenient. Thanks for the reply.

    Read the manpage for pw - it explains every option.

    I think you should ask at a GNOME mailing list, forum or newsgroup
    about this issue to check whether that is a general issue or only a
    local problem.
