** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ubuntu-sso-client
In the GTK UI for SSO account creation, the Registration screen used to
have a text entry for gathering the user full name. That field was
hidden before maverick's final freeze because the SSO server side will
not provide an API to actually set that value in the user account.
Since last week, the SSO REST API v1.0 allows passing a new parameter
'displayname' to the "register" method (as per bug #709496), so we
should un-hide the "name" text entry and send the value the user entered
to the SSO backend. Currently, all the new SSO account are being created
with an empty display name, causing (among other things) having the
Ubuntu One shares be displayed as "New folder shared by <empty string>".
Backporting this change will fix this issue.
This change is not big at code level (see the branch proposed in bug
#709494 for stable-1-0 series), since all the needed code and strings
are already there (but hidden). Re-showing the "name" text entry will
change how the UI looks (for the registration case, not for login), so
this will require a UI freeze exception.
On the other hand, the current proposed branch modifies an existent API
as per:
158 - def register_user(self, email, password, captcha_id,
captcha_solution):
159 + def register_user(self, email, password, displayname,
160 + captcha_id, captcha_solution):
Is worth noting that the modified API is not meant to be used by any
other app other than the GTK UI, but to complain with the freeze
procedures I will be happy to propose a second branch where the
register_user method maintains its original signature and add a new
- register_user_with_name method that will receive (and send) the new
- displayname parameter.

+ By not having the "displayname" field in the Ubuntu One registration
