[concurrent chars in O]
I'm playing on Linux and my save file has the name of the user, not
the char.

Wrong, must have confused it with something else.

Arrgh, de-confusion. ;-) Now it looks like I was *not* wrong at first:
my second (new) save file has now the user name! Meanwhile I suppose the
first save file was actually named 1000.[user], but the newly created
file is also called 1000.[user] and renames the latter to 1000.[char].
Is this the way it's meant to be? And why so complicated instead of just
naming *every* file after the character name?

For the records, the confusing part only appears when looking into the
save game folder: character selection from menu and playing/saving both
characters independantly works perfectly and as expected. So no real
problem, just a little bit scary (until you know what's going on).

The -u option used to play more than one save at the same time is used to
select the filename of the savefile and has no relation with the char name.
You can play the game with -uWarrior with a Mage if you want :) By default,
it uses the login name.
