In the subject, could I propose a slight change? I'm attaching a mockup.<div><br></div><div>In that proposal, we can achieve a bigger picture (actually, the double of current's size), which users might always prefer. ;)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I based it on Celeste's before patch image and haven't measured stuff in detail on it but the idea is the avatar spanning both rows, with user's name close to it and search a bit reduced and more far, having in the left the same margin width it has on the right (being visually separated from the avatar).</div>

Review request for Plasma.<br>
<br>
<br>
Summary<br>
-------<br>
<br>
In the KDE kickoff menu, the avatar currently appears next to the menu search bar. It should be next to the username since the avatar and username are related information. See screenshot.<br>
(This is a seele-recommended fix, see <a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/389744" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/bugs/389744</a> )<br>
Here's the before picture: <a href="http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28128348/avatar.png" target="_blank">http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28128348/avatar.png</a><br>
<br>
The patch basically moves the search for the user icon to launcher.cpp, and places either the found user icon-- or the generic user-identity icon if none is found-- next to the user/computer info. The search icon has been made smaller so that the new layout uses just as much space as the old layout.<br>

I have tested it. It's a fairly straightforward patch.<br>
