Public bug reported:

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?
