Hi,

I expose the problem I met some times:

A user wants to know a public computer (in high school, university, NGO, 
friend share computer,...) that have a lot of acounts of users (more than 80) 
but he/she does not know its login name (that is assigned by administrator) 
and he/she can't ask (the administrator is gone and no other user is present; 
for example network connection). The only possibility is to find (her)hiself 
in gdm list. A very boring task.

It could be solve if "search user" tool were present in gdm. So the user could 
search (her)hiself by surname, ...  and obtains (her)his login name.

Do you think this is useful? Is it so useful for including in GdmRoadmap or, 
in general, in breezy. Anyway, just suggestion.


With all my best intentions,
Xan.
