Description 3ndymion 2016-12-12 08:32:07 UTC 
In trying out KDE again & trying to change my user avatar, I discovered that this new User Manager imposes a new restriction on the system.  Specifically, it's this:

"The user name must start with a letter."

I guess I'm probably the only person that would run into this.  : (  I use my screen name on my computer as well.  The older versions of KDE (& Fedora) never had an issue with this.

I realize that I can still use "kcmshell4 useraccount" to change the avatar, but that method is already long deprecated.  I don't want to end up getting locked out.  I think that whatever /etc/passwd can understand should be acceptable to User Manager as well.

May I request that this new restriction be lifted???  I'll like, love you guys forever, or something.  ^_^
