[Bug 812728] Re: [oneiric] Optionally hide user name in panel

@vincenzoml Au contraire, the needed package is called dconf-editor, and it was previously named gconf-editor. Which doesn't necessarily mean there's no such package as dconf-tools :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

[Bug 812728] Re: [oneiric] Optionally hide user name in panel

The package is now named "dconf-tools" I guess. It would be lovely if these options could be set based on the percentage of the panel that stays free: a netbook easily becomes unusable; there is too few space for the application menus in oneiric by default.

[Bug 812728] Re: [oneiric] Optionally hide user name in panel

Apologies in advance if this is slightly off-topic: reading the blueprint, a theoretical workaround is to disable the guest account (ie since the menu appears whenever the system allows a guest session *or* when there is more than one user account). However, I cannot find a way to do this (I looke

[Bug 812728] Re: [oneiric] Optionally hide user name in panel

A checkbox sound best in my opinion, like the battery-option. To make it consistent with the battery-indicator, the option should be placed right above "Online Accounts" but in the same group, and the text should probably be "Show Name in Menu Bar". If you hide the name, only the icon would be vis

[Bug 812728] Re: [oneiric] Optionally hide user name in panel

Having that as an option sounds great. Rather than two menu buttons, I think we would only need one (checkbox) option, "Show Name In Menu Title" or similar. The battery menu's option "show time in menu bar" acts as a checkbox rather than a radio button, so having one option here would be consistent

[Bug 812728] Re: [oneiric] Optionally hide user name in panel

It was a Canonical engineer who implemented all the clock configuration options in the Time & Date Settings, and another Canonical engineer who implemented the "Show Time in Menu Bar" option in the battery menu.

@Matthew: OK, I was relying on what Sebastien said in comment #4 - he is almost always reliable in these cases. But in any case, for the record, I *would* prefer to the option to *not* show an icon of a pawn and my username in the session menu. It would be better if this menu were a separate appli

My indicator-session shows the name even though there is only one user in the system (presumably it considers 'Guest' to be the second user??!). So the current incarnation of indicator-session does not meet the design requirement, ie which is to only show the name if there are several users as per
