I always had impression that notification tray is overused. You cannot position icons inside the tray, you cannot have some space between them... Also, at some point I got impression that application cannot put custom widget there - only show some pixmaps (ok, they can change dynamically). Am I wrong? I would be inclined not to put the indicator there - but I do not really insist...

Does that mean you cannot have bona fide gtk widgets in the shell status menu, only Clutter-based stuff?
