Setting up Zsh should definitely work when creating a new user's home
directory, but maybe it doesn't do the right thing when changing a
user's shell after the home directory has already been created. We
should look into that.

Please copy the contents of '/etc/skel/.zprofile' to your zprofile file
and check for the /run/setuid-programs in your $PATH after logging in
again with `zsh --login`.
