I'm having trouble coming up with an elegant way to add the special
case for the user themselves.

Adding a button to use gnome-about-me seems the best way, but
asking gnome-about-me to just run the password changer isn't
currently possible, and not trivial to implement for me. We could
run the whole of gnome-about-me, but that obscures the password
change button. Running gnome-about-me instead of the whole
properties dialog also means you can't change groups and the like.

Due to the architecture of g-s-t et. al. I'm not sure how to re-use
what is there and just have the process change the password without
having the backend make the change as well.

Any assistance would be welcome.

Thanks,

James
