Apperantely indicator-session reports unusable user on your system.

Not sure why we do not see the problem properties which are passed to whoopsie.

    const char * properties[] = {
        "uid", uid_str,
        "icon_file", (u->icon_file ? u->icon_file : "(null)"),
        "is_current_user", (u->is_current_user ? "true" : "false"),
        "is_logged_in", (u->is_logged_in ? "true" : "false"),
        "real_name", (u->real_name ? u->real_name : "(null)"),
        "user_name", (u->user_name ? u->user_name : "(null)"),
        NULL
    };

    whoopsie_report_recoverable_problem("indicator-session-unknown-user-error", 0, FALSE, properties);

Is there anything special about your user account?

      /* Sometimes we get a user without a username? bus hiccup.
         I can't reproduce it, but let's not confuse users with
         a meaningless menuitem. (see bug #1263228) */
      label = get_user_label (u);
      if (!label || !*label)
      {
        report_unusable_user (self, u);
        continue;
      }

Not that I know of, how could I highlight something "special" that could be useful for this bug?

Attaching /etc/passwd might be useful, if you are comfortable with
sharing that. It should not have any passwords, but may have
names/emails that you may consider sensitive.

There's only my name that I also use on Launchpad, so nothing sensitive :)
