Why not just add a '--full-username' option? 

This is how I tried to avoid this kind of problem in the ntlm-server-1
server protocol.  

But I fail to see why firefox needs to specify this:  Winbindd should
fill in the username, from the session (Even if checkied, I would be
worried if the user could specify it, given we are returning cached
credentials).
