app_indicator_new() just calls g_object_new and there is no special constructor set in AppIndicator, so it will only fails in OOM condition which we usually do not check for. Sure there is a bug somewhere in indicator-application, but it does not make sense to check for something which is always valid and will not prevent that bug from happen.
