[Bug 834137] Re: user menu says [Invalid UTF-8]

[Simon Eisenmann]

I do not get how this is related to the casper package, as i am not
using a live CD and still getting this (no casper installed).

I should also mention that my user account is also not shown in the user
switcher, nor the user account management and not in the lightdm login
list (i have to type in my username to log in).

Though i think i have changed my user id a couple of months ago to 501.

Bug description:
  After the round of updates today, the user menu in the top-right
  corner says [Invalid UTF-8]. I presume this is supposed to show my
  current user name. My user name is simply 'ripps', so I don't know
  what's wrong.
