It is a noble goal and I support it 100%, but let's not forget that, as good as the indicators are and as bad as the notification area is, the notification area is what people are used to. So a little push might be necessary to overcome the natural resistance to change. Also, there is a limit to how natural something can be. I have absolutely no idea how we could make obvious to a first time user that the indicator-messages icon is supposed to change when you receive a new message, for example. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
