I'm trying to work something out here.
I use Trisquel 7, but don't like the GNOME Flashback. It's slow, clunky, and
ugly on my system unless I disable everything (which fixes slow and clunky,
but not ugly). Linux Mint was my first foray into GNU/Linux, and I always
liked the Cinnamon desktop, so when I upgraded from Trisquel 6 to Trisquel 7,
I set up the Cinnamon DE. For me, it works much better, is cleaner, and
nicer.
The one thing I do really miss from the standard Trisquel DE is the messaging
menu. Right now, I've got Icedove running with Firetray to minimize it to the
tray, Pidgin automatically can, as can Turpial. But Liferea is the one
application I can't get to run in the tray. I miss the convenience of that
menu.
I know that Cinnamon continues to develop as its own separate desktop
environment, but, still being based on GNOME, I was wondering if it were
possible to somehow incorporate that messaging menu into Cinnamon's applet
tray.
