groups is an alias for "id -Gn", what do you get when you run "id"?

id uses getgroups to find the secondary groups, just like current KDE 
versions. Older KDE versions still relied on the users returned by getgrnam 
which had some issues. Which version of KDE are you using, the one from SUSE 
9.1 or the one from 9.2? 

Which version of kiosktool are you using? Does the profile show up in 
"kiosktool-kdedirs" as opposed to "kiosktool-kdedirs --check" ?

Cheers,
Waldo
