The solution to the User Manager issue is to edit line 184 of python-qt4 in /usr/share/pyshared/PyQt4/uic/uiparser.py
from
bg_name = bg_i18n.string
to
bg_name = str(bg_i18n)
kmb42vt (a LinuxMint forum member), apachelogger (a KDE forum member) came up with and tested this solution. I edited the file and after re-booting the system User Manager is back to perfect working order.
