I would have filed as a gnome bug, but neither YaST nor useradd will allow creating a local account that contains a backslash; its a violation of username policy. In light of that, it makes more sense to move away winbind to using an alternate format or separator, that to try to diagnose the issue in gnome-shell. ----- http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html#winb...
