I am against it. It looks like an Ubuntu specific library that duplicates most of the functionality already contained within GTK+ and doesn't even seem to be something that Gnome developers are interested in using for Gnome Shell in 3.0. Per GKT+ devs, it sounds like they aren't too keen on it:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg18063.html In addition, it is an unstable library in which its APIs can change at any time per its own documentation: http://people.canonical.com/~ted/libappindicator/current/AppIndicator.html For the above reasons and due to the fact that it would require hacks in our code to implement, I think it should stay as an Ubuntu specific patch.

Status in Linux DC++: New Bug description: I have committed a patch to Ubuntu Maverick (1.0.3-1ubuntu1) that replaces the tray icon with an application indicator icon. You are welcome to review and integrate it (perhaps falling back to the traditional GtkStatusIcon if libappindicator is not available). _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linuxdcpp-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linuxdcpp-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
