I have created a patch that adds an option to the notification settings (
Setup -> Notifications -> Alert and email followups and alerts configuration
) that allows a user's full name to be displayed in a seperate order from
the system wide setting.  The idea is to make the emails more "personal" so
for me this allows a name to be "First name Surname" in email notifications
while allowing the GLPI names to remain "Surname First name".

There is one problem I can't seem to fix that I could use help on...all the
notifications display the name in the correct order except ticket updates.
 It seems this is due to the username being pulled from the glpi_logs table
which stores the username (instead of ID).  I couldn't find a way to alter
this without making drastic changes.  However the primary goal for this
patch is to improve the readability to the end-user and at least in my
setup, updates don't go out to end-users.

This patch may be a bit too intrusive, and change too many things to make it
into the Core code for GLPI.  There is likely a better way to do this, but
this is working thus far on v0.80.2.

Thanks
