If the user's real name is too long to fit the menu comfortably, we are supposed to use the username instead. However since commit f8e5e3e435f, we no longer set a max-width on the menu as a whole, but instead base the width request on only "unellipsizable" children. For some reason the system menu ended up there, so the name is now allowed to grow indefinitely. Remove it from the list of size children to get the intended behavior back. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/400
