tiny note about GNOME page

From http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome:

Using the Gnome system tools may require you to insert your user to the group stb-admin by:
[...]
Otherwise you may encounter the "The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration." error message.

I've just installed "gnome-system-tools 2.28.1-1" and can see the group «stb-admin» isn't present (grep stb-admin /etc/group -- the exit status is 1).
So, was it true for GNOME 2.26, wasn't it?

Re: tiny note about GNOME page

Well, now that you mentioned it, I just noticed this in my pacman.log:

[2009-10-14 19:18] Removing stb-admin group
[2009-10-14 19:18] ==> Daemon method deprecated. Now is starting automatically at login
[2009-10-14 19:18] ==> Remove stbd from DAEMONS list
[2009-10-14 19:18] upgraded system-tools-backends (2.6.1-2 -> 2.8.2-1)
[2009-10-14 19:18] upgraded gnome-system-tools (2.22.2-1 -> 2.28.0-1)

stb-admin is not needed as of version 2.28 of gnome-system-tools and the group is gone.

Added a small note in the wiki page.
