Just a query I have about the future of gnome.....
I have noticed that certain applications are married together with
gnome-shell, such as empathy and rhythmbox..... hence...
the messaging tray works together with them.
The only problem is that Empathy and Rhythmbox are poor choices of
applications for several reasons... especially empathy...
It seems as though if people want the full use of gnome-shell they are
pretty much forced to use empathy, which hasn't even got file transfer
support for
most popular messenging protocols, or offline messaging... people have
been complaining about its lack of features for atleast the Last 2
years with no improvements....
So my question is, Will the messaging tray work with other alternate
messengers??? Same question about alternate Music Players etc?
I'm getting worried that Gnome are intergrating more and more
applications by default into gnome-shell which are poor applications
for the majority of us
and choosing a better alternate application for our needs will render
Gnome-shell not fully featured during use....
can anybody clear this up for me?
thankyou

The messaging tray gives me notifications just fine on other players
and with Pidgin. I agree that Empathy isn't as "feature-filled" as
Pidgin, but Rhythmbox is actually pretty okay for my needs. The
integration isn't extreme; it's just a re-implementation of the current
notification standard (whatever it was).
