So is there any reason the messaging menu couldn't be a regular indicator? My gut says it should probably be a system indicator, but I'd really really want this to fall-back into the notification area anyways. If the messaging menu, and other indicator features are to be supported by upstream, I believe we need to reduce the barrier of adoption. If gnome-shell, kde, xfce, and every other random window-manager/desktop-environment (which almost universally support the notification spec) could have all the same indicators and features that the ubuntu offers, without having to adopt/implement a new applet/protocol, we'll have a much better chance of getting the community at large on board. -- Jeremy Nickurak -= Email/XMPP: [email protected] =-
