Bug Description

package: users-admin

i try to change my user login name from "laza" to "LAZA" but this does not work.
The chagne is made but every time i log out and in again it is set back to "laza".

for all other users this is possible, i was able to change "anne" to "Anna" without problems.

Okay, i was able to bypass this problem:

- try to change something that needs verification from root
--> enter root/sudo password

- change name again
--> works

so the problem is, that users-admin starts without permissions to change the name and ignores all input
