Hi Sebastien,
I have this problem.
Users are local. Their names display correctly on the login screen.
I edited the /etc/login.defs file to change the minimum uid and gid to 500, to match the users of a file server accessed by this computer.
The Guest user shows correctly on the upper right after login.
The user I created during installation (it's uid is 1000), shows as [Invalid UTF-8] on the upper right after login.
Another user created later with uid 1006, also shows as [Invalid UTF-8] on the upper right after login.

I installed d-feet and started it. I don't see menus. Only a button "Add a bus tab using an address". Clicking on it brings a window to enter a "Bus Address" and connect. I don't know enough to understand this, but I could follow step-by-step instructions if you think it could be useful.

I run: dpkg -l accountsservice
It gives me 6 lines that I don't understand.
The first 5 seem to be a header. The last one says: ii accountsservice 0.6.14-1git1 query and manipulate user account information
