Have you seen the changes they requested? http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2010-January/011228.html Dan Winship requested more than one name change: | "Movie" is not standard terminology. Why not "AttentionAnimationName"? | The naming inconsistency is weird. "ServiceRegistered" should be | "StatusNotifierIconRegistered", shouldn't it? Also, don't we need | "StatusNotifierHostUnregistered"? (and several other places where he doesn't explicitly request a name change, but complains the name is not good) that would have very clearly broken all existing implementations (while bringing no benefit whatsoever to the end user, nor even to application developers, only to the handful toolkit developers out there that can surely cope with a few poorly-named D-Bus methods and signals).
