How does KDE deal with appindicators? Is there something we could partner
with then on? Are they trying to solve this also?

Did KDE modify the spec? Not knowing much about the nuance of the different
indicator solutions, my experience with kstatusnotifier has been fairly
great. 5/6 icons show up there as they should (I think discord is the only
one that doesn't) and the theme on the drop-down menu when clicking matches
the shell theme perfectly. This is in contrast to TopIcons/Plus/Redux that
shows all of the icons, but the drop-down themeing is terrible.


A couple of thoughts on my mind that maybe someone can answer:

1) When an application has an open window there is a notification dot on
the dash to show that it is open. However, when the app window is closed
but the process is still running, I.e. steam, telegram, etc, there is no
dot to indicate visually that the app is still open. Why is this? On OSX
they keep the dot up until the app is fully quit.

2) Back in early GNOME3 we had the slide up tray from the bottom. Am I the
only one who thought that was super cool? It had nice big icons for touch
and accessibility purposes, and it was just really cool looking imo. I was
sad when that went away for usability reasons. Is there any chance on
resurrecting that and polishing it's usability issues as a solution?

3) realistically what are the chances of us working with the other
interested parties and creating a functional/unified spec once and for all.
We could do the whole Mantle-->Vulkan transition with
appindicator-->XDG-appicon or something of the sort. My dream is to create
a solution for everyone, not just GNOME
