That would be a better solution, as this one is quite hacky: I didn't
want to change the invocation of display_account_form() in other
places, but that would be a better solution so $N always contains the
username from the database. Then we can drop the (indeed confusing)
function create_safe_url_username().

I'll try to implement this better solution and resend my patches
tomorrow.

Best, Marcel
