In suborder, another interesting question is: how could GNOME Desktop
prevents applications to mis-use the Notification/Status area? By now
we are providing gtk_staus_icon_*() functions and usage policies on
HIG, but this wasn't enough to avoid bad usage.
HIG recommendations were not strongly stated :
"The utility of the notification area decreases rapidly when more than
about four icons are always present. For this reason, icons that appear
only temporarily in response to events are *preferable*."
They don't oppose status and permanent state vs notification of punctual
events clearly enough... But I don't blame them, I first thought that
giving the link to that page would convince people, but no, they seem to
be reluctant on leaving the old taskbar à la Windows. Which I
definitely hate.
But I agree that the situation must be clarified before GNOME 3.0 by the
usability team.
