Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Gdm no longer displays the username but rather the full name of the
user. This could be confusing for new users who need to login via tty
in order to fix something following a tutorial or for those unable to
use a mouse.
Every login screen should be consistent to remove any chance of
confusion. I beleive that gdm should therefore either list the full
name and underneath the username, or only display the username this
would make it far clearer to any new user as to what you need to type
in.
