Bug ID: 441821
Summary: Users (local accounts) list looks bad when "real name'
isn't filled in
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.22.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_users
Assignee: uhh...@gmail.com

without name
SUMMARY
Users on Linux usually just have a username. Desktop environments may try to
provide "full name" and profile picture extensions, but they are for obviously
not mandatory. I was surprised to find out that Users KCM of system settings
seriously expected me to provide full name, otherwise the list of users looks
weird without it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open system settings
2. Open Users tab/page/KCM
3. Select your account or create a new one
3. Remove text from the "full name" field, right next to a profile picture.
OBSERVED RESULT
The row of that account under Your Account section in the list of account... is
looking weird because it only shown username as a little shaded subheading, but
the main text is empty -- it is supposed to be the "full name".
EXPECTED RESULT
If full name is not specified, use the username as the row's primary (big)
text. For example, Application Launcher applet does this: it shows name when
available, but falls back to username.
