Hello,
"man gpasswd" gives a hint "...(and /etc/gshadow file if compiled with SHADOWGRP defined).". After i set a password for a group, the tool put the password only in "/etc/group" and doesn't use "/etc/gshadow". So, i think Arch don't uses this file. You should leave the field "Shadow group file" empty at "KUser->Settings->Configure KUser->Files".
