Public bug reported:

Well,I was installing Ubuntu(GNOME) Karmic Alpha 3 when I did a few back
and forths from step 8 to the partitioning screen(partitioning manually)
because of confusion as to which partitions are being formatted.After
confirming to my satisfaction that everything was appropriately allotted
to be formatted(and not),I introduced a underscore in my
username,clicked Forward,and repeated alerts of "Invalid username The
username you entered is invalid. Note that usernames must start with a
lower-case letter, which can be followed by any combination of numbers
and more lower-case letters" pop up as soon as I click Ok on the
previous alert.As a result,I can't fix the invalid username,since focus
is given to the never ending alert boxes.

EDIT: Used xkill to get rid of Ubiquity.
