Thanks for the replies. 
To clarify the subject: I do not want to change the username as in $home. Just 
want to change the login name to the session.
For example: under Gutsy, I originally had username "marcelo" with login name 
"marcelo". My home directory is /home/marcelo. 
To enter gnome in gdm I had to use login name "marcelo". For practical reasons, 
I had to change my login name to "mespinoz" which is the login name I have in 
my other computer in the office. So I went to System->Admin.> Users and groups, 
and change the login to "mespinoz", buit the home directory is still 
/home/marcelo and the group is "marcelo" and so on. 
I wanted to do the same in Hardy, and I can not do it. 
I simply want to change the login name to the session, not the home directory 
or the group. Under Gutsy it went very easy.
