Bug Description
Oneiric up to date
Since the latest update, the user name is displayed on the panel.
1. This information _never_ changes and generally the user knows who he is, and the account he logged into
2. It uses lot of precious panel space, nearly 15% in the case of the screenshot attached.
This is a regression from Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04. There used to be an undocumented gconf setting to either hide the username, show the username, or show the user's full name. This needs to be returned as a gsettings schema. Please see bug 604506 where the previous functionality was discussed.

its a bug not a feature, indicator-session did not add any such features, It could be one of the left outs of indicator-me or you are not using the latest unity that totally does not look for libme.so
