Someone asked me how to get the DotNetNuke USER skin object to display the UserName instead of the DisplayName.

This functionality is not part of the USER skin object, so I suggested that it would be be relatively easy to modify the USER to display UserName.  It turns out that it took me all of a half-hour or so to create a modified skin oject with the desired functionality.  Here is how I did it (and writing about it is going to take more time than the actual work!).  This skin object works for DotNetNuke version 5.x.
