Pharo full name screen ...

I noticed the screen where the user is asked for their full name (see attached) has a few usability issues:

The window title "Information Required" is probably not descriptive enough.  The user name is also specified in the Settings browser as the "Author identification" in the "Code browsing > Editing" section, so there should be some sort of consistency.  Should it actually be possible to save a name using characters which are to be avoided as people tend to not read text?  Should these characters really be avoided and if so why?  How about asking for the author's full name and when typing the full name, unwanted characters will be stripped from the user name?

  I Geert,
in addition there is a bug when you enter a empty name from the setting.
I will fix that issue (http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3128)
Thanks for reporting
Alain
