    Ubuntu gnome 13.10 beta- how to remove user name from top panel

    Hello
    Loaded Ubuntu gnome 13.10 beta and can't find out how to remove the user name from the top panel. I looked in shell ext's but the one that I found says you don't need it since you can goto settings-privacy and change it but I don't see that anywhere.
    Thanks

    There should be the option in System Settings under privacy.

    I don't see a privacy icon.

    This is one way to do it:
    Use dconf...change:
    org-gnome-desktop-privacy
    uncheck show-full-name-in-top-bar

    What happens if you type privacy in the dash?

    sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

    Run unity tweak tool click on panel and you will see a check box to show hide name.

    I did it with the simple extension from extensions.gnome.org:
    heres the link: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/156/quit-button/

    It replaces the user name with quit button.. theres another extension in those pages too, 'Remove User Name', if I am not mistaken.

    Does Unity Tweak Tool work with Gnome 3.8?

    Nothing happens, nothing is displayed, strange.

    I found in extensions.gnome.org the developer of the extension 'Remove User Name' has also said that his extension is not needed in Gnome 3.8 as in Settings/Privacy User name can be turned off. (https://extensions.gnome.org/extensi...ove-user-name/)

    But there is no Privacy in Settings menu or elsewhere!
