User-switching item is blank if there's no display name

[Juhapekka Piiroinen]

There is no user name available in indicator-session for newly created user.

Steps:
1) adduser [username]
2) open indicator-session and switch user

Expected:
Would be able to see the newly created user name in the menu.

Actual:
Only "blank" text is displayed. See screenshot.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemMenu#Account-switching_items>: "Each account item should consist of its account picture and its name — full name if it is present and visibly unique, otherwise login name, either ellipsized to 50 characters if necessary."

Yeah, we should definitely fall back to using UserName if RealName is empty.

    - Add dh-autoreconf to Build-Depends.
    - Add gnome-common to Build-Depends.
    - Add libgtest-dev, libdbustest1-dev, dbus-test-runner to Build-Depends.
    - Adjust style to be consistent and use trailing commas in lists.

    - Don't lock the session when clicking on the current user. (LP: #1024392)

    integration check.
  * debian/control: temporarily comment out the XS-Testsuite entry to disable
    autopkgtest until the tests really work properly.

  * debian/control:
    - clean deprecated Build-Depends on gconf and dbusglib

  [ Didier Roche ]
  * run tests not under fakeroot for dbus tests (which don't seem to be able to
    run easily under dbus-test-runner)
