Uh, you're right... the scanner group is not even there and when I create
a new user from GNOME users applet only pertains to its own group (e.g.,
user2/user2).
Maybe the only user added by default to the "extra" groups (also
"scanner") is the one created at install time? I can't confirm because I
couldn't find any documentation source about this :-?
