    I am not getting you question? If both Graphical and useradd command are create /home/<user> folder correctly then where is the problem?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    do
    Code:
    # useradd -m test
    -m will make the home dir
    -d you specify what home dir you want to use, if it doesn't exist, it'll error out.
