Well, you are talking about a future reality in GNOME 3, while Luis was talking about the precedent and current situation in GNOME 2; in GNOME 2 applets have had a prominent place, and have been dedicated to many things. > MSDN has a pretty good reference for how the area is used in Windows: > http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511448.aspx#rightui Many time the "notification area usage" came up and it was pointed out our fantastic HIG didn't talk about them. It may be too late to be fixed now to talk about GNOME 2, but I encourage those with a particular interest in GNOME 3 interface changes not to forget the HIG, it certainly needs help; and will give us something way more coherent than a collection of pointers to Windows or Mac OS X own guidelines.
