[support] User name in title of View?

[Steven Scotten]

Wow, this is awesome but also a little confusing.

The title of the argument overrides the title of the page, cool. But  
I'm still not clear about getting at the value of the argument.

I have to choose an action to take if argument is not present, and for  
some reason the argument is never present. Does this mean I have to  
add the argument to the URL? That defeats the purpose of using the  
name of the current user.

When I looked at the form for configuring the argument User: Name, the  
first thing I tried was putting "%1" in the title. I can choose  
"Provide default argument" as the Action To Take if Argument Is Not  
Present, and then use PHP code , but that seems like I'm doing way too  
much for what you described as a simple setting.

Sorry if I'm being dense.
