I find aptitude's search mechanism unbearably counterintuitive, so I
still use 'apt-cache search foo' which does what I mean. You might want
to re-read the aptitude man page on search, because I'm pretty sure that
if you used the literal command above, you didn't do what you think you did.
Having said that, the 2800+ lines returned by 'apt-cache search user'
aren't that helpful either. Nor is 'default user'.

(You didn't mention if you mean CLI or GUI user, and what OS/distro or
window manager.)
This is a long shot, but you aren't thinking of /etc/skel, are you?
Or gconf-editor? Or
http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/2.26/?
If you find something better let us know.
Good luck,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
