Why do you need to? It's /home/<username?/something/filename. What I was asking 
is *WHERE* gdm-simple-greeter could have gotten that name in the first place, 
as *if* I understand correctly, it's gnome's logon program, and (I'm not a 
gnome person) possibly, from the researching I've done, seems to be able to 
store recently logged-in people. *If* it's the latter, is there some cache, 
whose path I don't know, that it could be storing the name and path?

Oh, and I also get the Glib-GDK-callback fullpath (if I'm remembering that 
correctly - I'm at home, not at work at the moment). I can post the latter full 
message tomorrow, but I do note that googling it, I keep finding references to 
bugs reported.
