username missing from panel

[David Hopkins]

This is a strange issue to me. In case it matters, I am using gnome classic
(no effects) ... e.g. gnome-fallback because it seems to be less resource
intensive and we have a lot of users. When I log in at the console, my
login name appears in the notification at upper left on top panel. e.g.
Sound icon, date, login name, gear for other options. I can click on my
name and get the switch user option.

However, if I login at a thin client, my login name no longer appears. The
teachers would like to have the login name appear so they know the account
being used by the students at a glance (should be the student's account but
who knows)

I've looked at ubuntu-tweak and the setting is checked to display the
name.  I also tried setting the variable via gsettings.
e.g. gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.session show-real-name-on-panel
true

indicator-applet-complete, indicator-applet and indicator-applet-session
are all installed.

However, I have not been able to get the login/username to appear.

How is this done with 12.04 and gnome-fallback?
and
Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins
