Just checking on the X11 user 'xuser' which should be created
with a bunch of groups via this recipe snippet:
   USERADD_PARAM_${PN} = "--create-home \
                          --groups video,tty,audio \
                          --user-group xuser"

However, when I log in as 'xuser', I don't see them?
   login: xuser
   $ id
   uid=1001(xuser) gid=1001(xuser) groups=1001(xuser)
   $ grep xuser /etc/group
   tty:x:5:demo,xuser
   audio:x:29:demo,xuser,pulse
   video:x:44:demo,xuser
   xuser:x:1001:

They do seem to be set though:
   $ python
   Python 2.7.3 (default, Jan 15 2013, 10:27:28)
   [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
T  ype "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
   >>> import os
   >>> os.getgroups()
   [5, 29, 44, 1001]

Looks like the busybox 'id' applet is broken?
