Title:
  gnome-do shell script won't start cli Do.exe in machines for users
  whose username is a number

Status in Do:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In the company I work, the usernames are the social security number of each user.
  I found that the shell-script fails to check if gnome-do is already running before launching it, cause pgrep thinks my username (EUID) is my real ID (UID).
  To correct this erratic behavior, I changed "id -un" to "id -u", so it always returns my UID, and pgrep behaves appropriately in any situation.

  Diff is attached.
