I originally sent this as a question for Askubuntu, but got no reply: http://askubuntu.com/questions/10688/why-are-the-memenu-and-the-messaging-applet-two-separate-things
"When I look at them, their functionality seems to overlap so much that they could almost be merged: - The MA is used to open Gwibber, but the MM is used to set the accounts and broadcast messages. - The MA is used to open Empathy, but the MM is used to set the accounts and set a status (available, busy...). All these could well be in different sections, either in the MA or the MM: - Chat (set status, accounts). - Mail (send mail, contacts). - Broadcast (send message, accounts). - Ubuntu One. - About me. So, why the decision to split them in two different indicators, thus taking extra space in the panel?"
