KCM useraccount is a merge of the former kdebase/kcontrol/email 
and kdeutils/kdepasswd/userinfo/. They existed in KDE 3.1, at least.

As a bonus, on top of saving the stuff with KEMailSettings it tries 
also to save the realname to /etc/passwd. This is done via chfn, wrapped 
in ChfnProcess, chfnprocess.h - which is the place to ifdef/modify so 
other systems/ychfn/whatever works.
/etc/passwd is not the primary goal, the focus is on KDE's settings. The KCM 
tries to hide the implementation differences and play nice with the 
user - keep that in mind.

The "face" term is rather scary.. For example I don't think the user immediately 
associate to the login image when a phrase such as this is thrown in the face:
"Your administrator has disallowed changing your face". Keep it in mind..

Some information which was available in userinfo is left out - the home 
folder and shell info. A typical user is not interested in the info nor 
knows what it means. And the advanced users already knows it.
