gdm displays only user logins instead of their Names for any users who
have a hyphen in their Name.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch GNOME Control Center Users tab (gnome-control-center users)
2. Put something with a hyphen (-) in your Name (e.g. John Foo-Bar)
3. Log out and see the list of users at the login screen

Actual Results:  
Any name with a hyphen (e.g. John Foo-Bar) is not displayed. Instead only login 
name is displayed

Expected Results:  
All names, including those with hyphens and other special characters should be 
displayed.

To avoid confusion:
user login = username (i.e. what you type to log in)
user Name = user display name (descriptive text about user, usually their name, 
a.k.a. GECOS field)

So the actual issue is not with the hyphen or special characters
but the length of the display name.

Thanks to @fmuellner for informing me of that "feature".

The user display name that I saw this bug with has 29 characters, so please try 
reproducing with something like:
