User displayed as "Invalid UTF-8" on right side of task bar

Asked by David W. Walter

After the upgrade to 11.10 the user ID on the right side of the task bar is displayed as "Invalid UTF-8". This machine has several user accounts installed on it. They all seem to work OK (log in/out, permissions, etc.) Looking at System Settings --> User Accounts all user accounts are indicated correctly. Any ideas on how I can get the Task Bar to display the account that is logged in to?

It looks like Bug Report #874194 may be related. But how do I fix it on my
system?
