It should probably never be visible to the user though (so could easily be generated, or hidden in a disclosure triangle). Anybody fancies filing bugs about visible login names when apps should use the person's name?
Sometimes you need a username to differentiate between people that have the same real name. In Germany for instance, you'll find a lot of "Markus Müller"s and I'm sure other languages have their share of common names as well, so that should be taken into account. A unix username is a good differentiator there IMO.
