Bug Description

The guest login button in LDM enables the creation of an account with a random name (gecos) such as zyHsUdQbnJlPwqCwe. This name may appear in different location in the user interface, including in the command line interface.

It would be nice to have a more "human" name for this value, such as "Guest user", "LTSP", or whatever. Ideally such name should be translatable -- or be universal across languages so it does not need translation.
