With XOOPS 2.2 RC2, which we'll release tomorrow if all goes well, the Real Name attribute will be used like it is today, i.e. not really - except in some modules where you can toggle between username and real name.
The core will go back to not use the real name anywhere, and it will - as now - only be displayed in the user's profile.
However, we will have the additional login name attribute which is used solely for login purposes. XOOPS 2.4 may introduce a system preference about which attribute to use for logins (login name, user name or email address), we'll discuss that in the core development team.
The Profile module is not very user friendly right now, however, it should be functional and it should be possible to work out. Refinements will come in XOOPS 2.4, when someone else has pointed out how this can be accomplished.
My strengths are in getting things working, GUI and workflow I need help with.
Remember that XOOPS is a work in continous progress and changes will come, but not all at once.
