yeah it makes sense from a few points of view.. as MPT already pointed out months ago in one or more related threads and also recently in "persistent awareness", it is still not clear what exact advantage an indicator menu would have over a classic window here.. i'm personally convinced that indicating something symbolically before exposing it in a detailed (windowed) view makes a good gradient from unawareness to detailed awareness, a kind of interpolation between these two states of awareness. to specify the details of this assumption could become part of this thread, if you like.. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
