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.
