There is a capplet on the control-center that i wrote it has some support for changing the password of a user, 
it uses the passwd command thorugh a pipe (using code i stole from gnome-system-tools) to change it, the capplet
mostly works, but there are some things that need to be finished before that capplet can be enable in the 
default build. I you want to improve the code to change the password or finish the loose ends of the capplet go
ahead, it is called about-me.
