Bug Description

The Gnomemeeting first-use configuration druid asks for Personal Information.
The first question asked is:

  Please enter your first name and surname:

This should probably default to the GECOS data obtained from the password file;
 and/or some gconf value that should in turn default to the passwd file data.

Not sure this is the same bug. The upstream bug does not mention GECOS data at all - it should be forwarded separately.

Upstream report was closed although the issue is clearly not fixed. I opened a new report and linked to it.

Hi,

The fix from upstream should be in Ubuntu Karmic, can someone try?

Best regards,
Yannick
