If you could switch username with fullname, the fullname would become the username and it would be displayed and used to login in and you wouldn't have to change anything (and username would then be unused I guess). But I don't know if that would work or not - I don't know if the username is used anywhere else in the database. And you would have a problem if two people had the same real name.

In whosOnlineBit - it shos userinfo.musername (notice the M username), what value do I change it to in order to display fullname?

I'm pretty sure musername always comes from the function fetch_musername, and you can create a plugin to modify that value. Use hook fetch_musername and code like this:

if ($usernamefield == 'username')
    $user['musername'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$displaygroupid"]['opentag'] . $user['fullname'] . $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$displaygroupid"]['closetag'];

(but I haven't actually tried it).
