user-accounts: Display the username as secondary text in list (1.21 KB, patch)

Description Stef Walter 2012-08-13 14:37:05 UTC 
In order to properly list the users in the user accounts panel we need to make the following changes:

 * Show the unix user name as the secondary text for local user. It is
   currently possible to have two users be indistinguishable in the list due
   to identical display names.
 * Show the full remote login-name as the secondary text for non-local users
   (ie: user@domain, or Domain/User). This logically represents the login    
   identity of the user.

user-accounts: Display the username as secondary text in list

 * By displaying the username we get the unix user name for
   local accounts, and the full login name for remote accounst.
 * Can now differentiate between accounts with the same display
   'real' name.
 * Can see the full login identity of remote accounts.

"accounst" typo.

Where were those UI changes discussed?
