Description shattered 2008-03-16 19:17:51 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    NetBSD pkgsrc
OS:                NetBSD

As documented in passwd(5) on BSD systems,

     The full name may contain an ampersand (``&'') which will be replaced by
     the capitalized login name when the gecos field is displayed or used by
     various programs such as finger(1), sendmail(8), etc.

I really have no idea what this means. Also given that this was filed against KDE 3.5, I'm going to mark it as UNMAINTAINED.

Please feel free to reopen the bug after testing it against Plasma 5.
