Interesting opinion regarding debugging - although the reasons are all
developer oriented. A user typically has a single account.
One of the solutions would be to display the small avatar (like is
implemented currently) near the drawer activator in order to remove some of
the confusion. Problem with this is that is not really the standard for
drawer usage, but let's say that in that area we could also add
notifications icons.

Adding the avatar might help:
- users like Admin to know if they are impersonating other user;
- normal users to know they are not with Guest.

Still, for debugging - we should try to add in the tests a step to set a
easily recognizable avatar for our user types (admin, user, advanced).
