Description:
Gnome-system-tools provides the utilities of users-admin, time-admin, network-admin, services-admin, and shares-admin. Currently, at least two of these, when run, are ineffective and unpopulated: users-admin and services-admin (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73612&p=1). Tinkering (see "Additional info") showed a D-Bus error, so attached is a patch (my first - sorry if it's not done right :-/) for the system-tools-backends package that changes file that is placed in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf to one that works with Arch's current setup. Note: This also puts into effect the stb-admin group usage right; regular uses won't be blocked from the program but their changes do zilch -- I think. Also, most of the setting I referenced from ubuntu's /etc/dbus-1/system.d/system-tools-backends.conf, and instead of checking all of the programs, I thought two sufficed.

Additional info:
systems-tools-backends-2.6.0-3; gnome-system-tools-2.22.2-1

Killing all other system-tools-backends processes, and running "system-tools-backends -nd" as root gave the following: http://pastebin.com/m73020814
Compared to desired output (from Ubuntu LiveCD): http://pastebin.com/m50f22f51 [note - that last critical I'm fairly sure is from the LiveCD environment.

Steps to reproduce:
Install and attempt to use the programs.
This task depends upon

I was told that the above patch did not actually contain anything. This is take two.

because that file looks the same, I'm trying once more. After this attempt, I'm pastebinning. this one is just for the system-tools-backends.conf
