Sebastien, Thanks for asking! As requested, I did the following: sudo apt-get install d-feet from Dash, I called up d-feet, used the File menu -> Connect to System Bus - go to org.freedesktop.org.Accounts on the left - select their path corresponding to their UID on the right, i.e User1000 (mine was 1101) - go to Properties, select "RealName" and get the values of those lines? I had 2 lines for String RealName = Michael on each line; both the same.
