With this feature it should be easier for deployments who rely on a small translator team to accomplish their job since they no longer need to keep pace with the Sugar release cycle. Furthermore, we hope to alleviate activity maintainers from the burden of making a new release whenever a new translation becomes available.

=== ~~Option to disable~~ the name input screen ===

=== Making the name input screen optional ===

An option has been added to ~~disable~~ the "enter your name" screen which is displayed when you use Sugar for the first time. The screen is only needed in live environments. If Sugar is ran in an installed to disk environment, the user will need to provide a name and password to start the session, so asking for a name again is not needed. ~~The sugar session~~ will use the name provided by the ~~$USER environment variable~~.

An option has been added to enable the "enter your name" screen which is displayed when you use Sugar for the first time. The screen is only needed in live environments e.g. [[Sugar_on_a_Stick | Sugar on a Stick]]. If Sugar is ran in an installed to disk environment, the user will need to provide a name and password to start the session, so asking for a name again is not needed. In those cases Sugar will use the name provided by the existing UNIX account. The name input screen can be disabled using the [http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ GConf configuration system]. The GConf key is ''/schemas/desktop/sugar/user/default_nick'', the screen is disabled by default and will use the UNIX account name. Set the key to ''disabled'' to display the screen on Sugar startup.

The name input screen can be disabled using the [http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ GConf configuration system].
