(I'm writing from home and don't have the image handy.)

If entering your name is a manual process, it is guaranteed to be missed
quite often.

So why not let the preferences filein (which won't be missed because of
the immediately-obvious look-and-feel differences) change the SAVED username?
We could provide a message in whatever object holds it.  (Even if it's being
stacked in a fluid variable, we could squirrel away a pointer to the bottom
of the stack.)

Meanwhile, the released images should have a bogus username, so changes
made by someone who didn't set up his name won't be credited to Mr Hill.
