Bug Description

The welcome message in Ubuntu One does not handle missing names correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Ubuntu One for the first time after installation.
2) Select "Install" and register for a new account without entering a name.
3) Complete registration process and select sync options.

Expected result: Welcome message in upper-left corner displays appropriately, even without a name given.
Actual result: Welcome message displays "Hi <newline> !" (as shown in attached screenshot), even after re-opening Ubuntu One.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your report.
You shouldn't be able to register an account without a name. I've just tried it here, and I get an error : "Please enter your name".

How did you manage to register your account?

pura vida,
Leo.

I have a similar problem. I do, however, remember specifying Name while registering for an account. The name is displayed fine when at login.ubuntu.com but I get the same behavior when I fire up the control panel. Trivial issue but looks strange, as if U1 greets by saying "Hi Exclamation".
