Description
Its quite annoying to get the Loginname as representation of the User. Normally you identify Users by their first and lastname and you if you got users with the exact same name just return the loginname too. The unicode method should do something like this:
class User(object): __unicode__(self): if completeName.unique(): # checks if the last and first name identify the user return "%s %s" % (self.last_name, self.first_name) else: return "%s %s (%s)" % (self.last_name, self.first_name, self.username)

"Annoying" is a matter of taste: I'd find this patch annoying, myself. We built the bikeshed and painted it this color; there's no real gain to change it now.
