It was a Canonical engineer who implemented all the clock configuration
options in the Time & Date Settings, and another Canonical engineer who
implemented the "Show Time in Menu Bar" option in the battery menu. In
contrast, nobody outside Canonical has bothered to fix bug 829690, bug
829673, bug 829664, bug 811769, or bug 829648, to give just five
examples. So your "why won't you people give me more free stuff?"
question would make more sense (though not much more) if addressed to
people who don't work for Canonical rather than people who do.

To return to the topic of this bug report, an option for whether to show
the account icon instead of the account name probably should be
presented in a similar way to that "Show Time in Menu Bar" option in the
battery menu. Maybe two radio items in the menu. But I haven't figured
out yet how they would be worded. For example,

    ◉ Name as Menu Title
    ○ Icon as Menu Title

is dull because it repeats "as Menu Title". But without those three
words, there would be no clue as to what the items were for. "Menu
Title:" could be put in a header, but headers in menus are a bit lame
too.
