Remove username from gnome panel applet widgetly thingamabob

Im running arch gnome 3.18

I want to hide the user name in the gnome panel widget but keep the shutdown option an example is the picture below

I disabled log-out in dconf-editor  : gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-log-out true
but that also removes the logout/shutdown button  does anyone else know a way to remove the name but keep the shutdown option

Re: Remove username from gnome panel applet widgetly thingamabob

What taskbar is this?  Please tell us about what you are running so the right people can help.  You may also want to revise the title to include some of this information.  Some of your comments suggest this is gnome, is this correct?  If so, the title should be something like "Remove username from gnome ****" where the asterisks are filled with whatever gnome widget that is.

If this is not gnome, might it be cinnamon, or mate, or something else?  Don't leave us to guess.

Also, running X as root is very dangerous.  If you continue to do so, please be sure to note it in any future troubleshooting threads you start here.
