Oh, sorry, to not mention it clear enough. The three lines with pts/*
are from open shells. If there is no open shell only the first line will
be printed. and with the first line the user is not recognized as the
test do not know about the format with a char in front of the :0.

Thats not the problem. _With_ a open shell the display would be finded.

Ok. But only for very long user names which should be a very rare case;
much more rare than a X session without open shells.
