Well, I look to your patch and I decide that it has no sense to send my patch. this one is really nice and I cannot write it better. Just an idea how to get username (sorry if you know better solution):

----------------
register struct passwd *pw;
register uid_t uid;

uid = getuid();
pw = getpwuid(uid);

/* OK, you'll write pw = getpwuid(getuid()) */

/* now pw->pw_name contains user name */


------------------

It is really nice. But it is not enough if one is logged on another machines via ssh. Then Window list can look like:
