Username in flashback menu tree displays empty limb

[Erick Brunzell]

This is an extremely minor issue but I notice in Xenial when using the main menu button rather than the standard Menu Bar the username displayed in the menu tree just displays a blank limb when you mouse over it. A picture is worth a thousand words in this instance so I'm attaching a screenshot composition with the Xenial behavior on the left and the Trusty behavior on the right.

It looks to me like even the username displayed in indicator-applet-complete is rather useless and redundant so maybe the Unity devs would consider changing that entire behavior? I mean clicking on the username will lock the screen but there is also a Lock button so why even have the username displayed?

Also the System Settings button is displayed in System Tools as well as being displayed by indicator-applet-complete if used so it's just more redundancy. Can anyone think of a valid reason why the username need even be displayed?
