Nekhelesh, you're right, this is fixed in the sense that the name is now not visible by default. However, it's a bug that you can't turn it on. I've reported bug 1116497 for that.
** Also affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: ayatana-design -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/964678 Title: Redundancy/Incoherence: If the user name appears in the user menu, why the user name appears in the panel? Status in The Session Menu: Fix Released Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Why the user name appears on the panel? If you click the user icon, then appears a menu with the same name. Three problems: -Redundancy or Incoherence: The same name appears in the menu. -Space: With long names is waste of space. -Design: All the indicator are only icons, no text (less clock). Example: This is like if you put the name of network connection, next to the network icon. The same incoherent behavior, because the connection name is in the network menu. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemMenu#title-setting>: "In the System Settings “User Accounts” panel, at the bottom of the pane for your own account should be a checkbox, “Show my login name in the menu bar”, that is unchecked by default for a new user account."
