Hi there,

Not being able to choose the computer name in an easy way, and assigning an
automatic name (ie. user-desktop) could lead to confusion in ubuntu one.

User case:
John has two laptops and is using ubuntu one to sync some files between
them. He wants to disconnect one of them from his ubuntu one account because
he is giving it to his younger sister.
But the two laptops have the same computer name (john-laptop), and they were
added at the same day to his ubuntu one account, so there is no way to know
which one must be disconnected.

Cheers...
