Title:
  dconf keys for hiding names of users in unity's top panel session
  indicator are gone

Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
