[opensource-dev] display names = the end of 1.x viewers?

[Andromeda Quonset]

Sounds reasonable to me.

I would like to extend this a little bit:  Suppose I can't login to 
the grid for some reason using my main AV.  And I need to login to 
take care of some things.  So, I login with an alt.
I would like a checkbox that says AllowOnlyMyAlts ToUseMyNameForDisplay.

Maybe have some blank spaces where I can list my alts, and have the 
permissions granted ahead of time, because when I can't log in with 
my main AV, I'm certain I won't be able to grant the permission then.
