I am trying to change the SPGroup Name and Description properties
programmatically and found that the "About Me" column in the "People
and Groups" group listing is NOT changing.

When I add the group the description parameter in the constructor
creates the value initially. But the reference to SPGroup.Description
= "New Description" does not affect the "About Me" column.

Is the SPGroup.Descrption column map to the "About Me" column in the
GUI? If not, how can that value be changed using the object model?

I have issued a SPGroup.Update() command. The name is changing
properly, it's just the description that is not behaving.

The strange thing is when I debug, the description is coming up
properly in the SPGroup.Description watch.
