Description David Ayers 2010-08-06 22:02:52 UTC 
While testing another issue I noticed that the gnome-about-me panel displays the placeholder "Full Name" instead of the full name of the user it it contains unexpected characters like: "David <br> & <span> Pezi".

Yup, still fails with user-accounts panel, reassigning.
