Proposed modifications for the B2 cycle:

have a "OK" return upon deleting a user as it does in adding one change order of tabs so arranged by approximate frequency of use: add, delete, repair, copy/sync

Expand the About button, adding version number

make "username" disappear on Add tab when box is clicked

Change "What to Copy/Sync" to a simple indented sentence--it is not another category

Add a Help button to /usr/local/share/doc/mxapps.html that I will create later

Improvements I propose before Final:

Add tab

    add "User group (optional)" to the existing "Add User Account" category

When a group is named that does not exist, up pops a dialog box "Create a new group named <groupname>?"&lt;/strike&gt;</groupname> Create a new category "Add Group to system" (addgroup command) using same confirm box as above

    Add a list of groups that are automatically granted to a new user (man adduser) somewhere on the screen

Delete tab

Create a new entry "Delete User Group" (addgroup command) that allows admin to remove an existing user from a specific group, with confirm msg Create a new category "Delete Group" (addgroup command) that allows a group to be removed from the system, with error message "There is no group of that name in the system" if we can't provide a pull-down menu to select from

Repair tab

    Change "Firefox configs" to "Default browser configs"
    Confirm ("Restore default configuration? This will end the world as you know it") and error ("No default browser has been set; please use Settings Manager > Preferred Applications to do so") messages
    Create new entry "Xfce4 configs," maybe with subcategory list such as All,Panel only, Thunar only, anything else? 

Copy/Sync tab

    Change "Firefox (.mozilla) folder" to "Default browser folder"
    Add "Other folder to copy" with a search button; allow multiple folders to be selected
