Title:
dconf keys for hiding names of users in unity's top panel session
indicator are gone
Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In Ubuntu 13.10's Unity Panel (the top panel, not the launcher), the
session indicator (top right corner) shows the names of previously
logged in users.
This allows switching users, but for privacy reasons I would like to
be able to hide those user names, as a lot of people use machines in
our computer pool. It seems that in older versions of Unity there was
a dedicated 'user-indicator' in the panel for that purpose, which
could be configured via dconf.
Old posts on AskUbuntu show how to hide those names, either via dconf
settings or by using Ubuntu Tweak.
Related dconf keys, that were referred to in different posts, are:
* apps > indicator-session > user-show-menu
* com > canonical > indicator > session > user-show-menu
Unfortunately, all these keys don't exist anymore. The user indicator
seems to have been merged into the session indicator. The graphical
tool Ubuntu Tweak doesn't have the config settings any more either.
Is there any way to hide the switch user part of the session
indicator? If not, I think the possibility to configure this behavior
should be added again.
