Bug Description

Version 0.4.4 of epoptes contains a small UI change: it introduces a new menu item which allows for displaying the real user names (e.g. Άλκης Γεωργόπουλος) instead of the unix usernames (e.g. alkisg) of the connected users.

This menu item was already there in the past, but hidden, so all translations for it were already available in launchpad and are included in the 0.4.4 version.

Please allow syncing it from Debian. Complete changelog entry:
epoptes (0.4.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Alkis Georgopoulos ]
  * screenshot: exit cleanly when X isn't available.
  * Handle late connectionLost events better.
  * Replace the View menu with the Labels menu.
  * Ability to show real names instead of usernames.
  * Don't use epoptes-client.init on LTSP 5.3.
  * Get the active display when executing root commands.
  * Remember more user settings (labels, history).
  * Don't hang on close, on Ubuntu 12.04.
  * Mark epoptes as the owner of /etc/epoptes (Closes: #661083).
  * Extract shell code from python scripts for maintainability.
  * Don't crash when clients with a bad certificate connect (LP: #940114).
  * Add Spanish and Swedish translations.
    Many thanks to the translators!

  * Update Standards-Version to 3.9.3, no changes necessary.

As an Edubuntu release team member and Edubuntu documentation team member, I'm perfectly fine with this change.
Alkis is the upstream for the tool as well as the packager and an Edubuntu developer and council member.

The only reference of epoptes we currently have in Edubuntu is in the installer and this menu isn't showed there.

So that's a +1 from the Edubuntu team, just waiting for release team final approval.
