Regarding this point, can we not model it after the image-data hint of the org.freedesktop.Notifications spec? I believe it sends a pixmap through D-Bus from an application to notify-osd/notification-daemon. Considering the size of the indicators, these icons should be pretty small, compared to the kinds of images sent to notify-osd, so it should not cause a huge memory leak like it did with notify-osd. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin
