A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/553 Git commit 6d54c27d8fa7a775133b201ee7cb9ac14edc886f by Nate Graham. Committed on 01/09/2021 at 19:36. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. kcms/users: improve UI for the case where no real name is set Currently the title of the list item is blank, leaving an awkward subtitle with nothing above it. This commit improves that to use the username as the title and avoid setting the subtitle at all, in the case where the user has not provided their real name.

Created attachment 141187 [details] without name SUMMARY Users on Linux usually just have a username. Desktop environments may try to provide "full name" and profile picture extensions, but they are for obviously not mandatory. I was surprised to find out that Users KCM of system settings seriously expected me to provide full name, otherwise the list of users looks weird without it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open system settings 2. Open Users tab/page/KCM 3. Select your account or create a new one 3. Remove text from the "full name" field, right next to a profile picture. OBSERVED RESULT The row of that account under Your Account section in the list of account... is looking weird because it only shown username as a little shaded subheading, but the main text is empty -- it is supposed to be the "full name". EXPECTED RESULT If full name is not specified, use the username as the row's primary (big) text. For example, Application Launcher applet does this: it shows name when available, but falls back to username.
