#194 closed defect (FIXED)

email validation assumes user is logged in

Description

When the user clicks their email validation link, a userid and a
token are sent in the querystring. However, in line 160 of
mediagoblin/auth/views.py, we are redirecting according to the
'username' session variable.

If the user is not logged in, the following traceback ensues:

::

username will be empty if the user is not logged in. It would be
preferable to redirect in this line without depending on the
session state
