Public bug reported:
Current situation:
When there are no messages to show, the indicator menu only shows the list of
apps that can currently publish messages.
Clicking on any app name opens the app in a browser instance.
Suggestion:
Only show the indicator in the case of pending messages; hide it otherwise,
decluttering a bit the indicators area.
The only use case is the links to the apps. I'd say that, at the moment they
only serve as app shortcuts that can't be removed: if so, they should live
better in unity panel instead, where they can be removed or pinned in a more
flexible way.
If the links serve as a shortcut to each specific user's account, then they
should be moved to the "online accounts" section of the System Settings (if
they are not there already, they should be)
