Subject: [PATCH] Avoid deleting the root user
The check we have in place against deleting the root user can
be tricked by exploiting the fact that we are checking a gint64,
and then later cast it to a uid_t. This can be seen with the
following test, which will delete your root account:
qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts \
org.freedesktop.Accounts.DeleteUser -9223372036854775808 true
