Created attachment 4486 [details] Screenshot, example of Full name cropped on session menu On 4.8, the session menu displayed the username as the menu name. 4.10 version displays the Full user name. When using it on a deskbar vertical panel the (typically) shorter username is preferred and fits better on the panel width. An attached screenshot is an example of a cropped Full name. Ideally, we should have the option to choose either the username or the Full user name as the session menu name in Action Buttons properties. There is none so this may count also as a feature request. Thanks!
I agree that I would also request a feature that the button for 'Session Menu' would be configurable similarly to the applications menu button. Even if it could use username or full name as a basic setup, it would be configurable to any text and/or icon. I personally think it would be nice to have the logout icon and instead of opening the logout dialogue it would just be the 'session menu'. If for nothing else, to save space.
You can as an intermediate solution recreate-ish the menu with commands to xfce4-session-logout. Run xfce4-session-logout -? to get the options.

Created attachment 5210 [details] Patch to allow customization of the session menu title The suggested workaround is a nice idea, but it doesn't support confirmation dialogs I think. Anyway, I make a patch to add some requested features: Set UNIX username as title, and set custom string as title. I also added the option of numeric UID as a way of identifying the user which is guaranteed to be short. :-) Support for using an icon (fixed or gravatar) as menu title is not added by this patch.
