You have been subscribed to a public bug: Ubuntu Karmic Koala After a fresh install on some machines and update from Jaunty on another one, we can't catch $USER $USERNAME $LOGNAME from /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default, we get "gdm" for all variables instead of real login name. It was working since 7.04 version. If in a terminal we run : echo $USER, we get the real login name.
