Yes, but ubuntu goes their distro-specific way in this area. Many
applications are changed to use appindicator by default in ubuntu. I have
no comment on the thenical details about which one is better.
I just want to make sure the users can have a working desktop and get what
they want.
So if some distros insist that they want to use different technologies, be
it upstart or appindicator, I hope that we can support it to some degree if
it's not too difficult. Mir is another story, though.
Since ubuntu is a popular distro that many people are using, I hope the
users can have an lxde-qt desktop as usable as in other distros.
