manager: don't record wtmp entries when user unknown (5.39 KB, patch)

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-10-10 16:53:04 UTC 
Right now we end up writing wtmp entries for the login screen
user into /var/log/wtmp, but with a funky username of "(unknown)".

The login screen session shouldn't get a wtmp entry, and we
shouldn't ever add wtmp entries for sessions we don't know the username
for.

This commit fixes that.
