I'm quite sure that person will be confused by some many 'usernames' at 
the panel. You would have username button (with IM icon!) that shuts 
down machine (with IM icon, remember?), restarts machine, changes IM 
status, changes password, and then you would have another username 
button (with folder icon) which brings you to your directory, but not to 
your files (cause your files are in Documents, Music, Downloads, etc).

'Click your username' (it sounds stupid already)
'Ok, now I can shutdown machine'
'Oh, sorry, the other username, the one under Places'
'Ok, now I see the same folders that were under Places menu. Why didn't 
I just click the right folder under Places menu?'

If you want to call is 'username', then put it under existing 'username' 
button and don't confuse user with same button title that does different 
things.
