AFAIK getProperty for a user object does not exist in this form. You  
have to get the propertysheet and then the property.

P.S.: Please don't confuse "member" and "user". "user" is what the  
userfolder creates. "member" is a CMF/Plone thing only, it represents  
a user wrapped in a member data wrapper. So if you're asking  
specifically about "member" then you need to make the memberdata  
class' "getProperty" as intelligent as you need yourself.
