Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2005-04-24 19:57:01 UTC 
On some setups more than one user inputed username can map to one canonical
username.  No matter what the user types in, gdm should find and use the
canonical username when setting LOGNAME, USER, USERNAME, etc.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=141380 for more details.
