Title:
  Welcome wizard does not successfully set name

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Fix Committed
Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After going through the new wizard, the user's "RealName" setting is
  still "Ubuntu" (the default).

  This is because:
  A) unity8 incorrectly tries to set RealName (AccountsService makes you use SetRealName, not normal dbus property setters)
  B) usermod (used by AccountsService in the background) chokes on read-only /etc.  It needs to be modified to handle that gracefully.  (If you have a writable device image, you won't see this part)
