Is there any possibility to remove my user session applet from the top pane of Unity in Ubuntu 11.10? I mean that with my name. It only wastes space. However, when I tried to uninstall session-indicator (with session-applet), the applet disappeared, but the very right button (that to shut down laptop or access system settings) was also gone.

How can I remove only the session applet (is it the right name of it?) - that applet displaying my name?

open dconf-editor, go to "apps -> indicator-session" and unmark "user-show-menu"

logout and login again
