Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 11.10
Release:        11.10
indicator-session:
  Installed: 0.3.6-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.3.6-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.3.6-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I use UIDs starting at 500, while login.defs specifies UID_MIN as 1000,
so when I got to the login screen in GDM, I logged in as "other".  The
indicator applet showed my name as [Invalid UTF-8].  I changed UID_MIN
to 500, restarted, and logged in by choosing my name from the menu.  My
name now shows correctly.
