Hey Mark, can you please comment on this. According to the origin of this bug "The application indicator system has been in place for two years now, which should be long enough for applications to adopt it." Ok, i asked one of the (Debian) developers to consider to support it in some tk app(so as you don't provide tk bindings they should be created first). So he asked me about, surprize, documentation. And the questions are:
1) Do you think that application indicator system so popular and mature enough, so 3 of 4 links from the https://unity.ubuntu.com/projects/appindicators/ could lead to 404 pages 2)Do you think it's so cool that it even not worth to mention it at http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ 3) Is it really so hard to recognize your fail and revert the patch that breaks compatibility instead of forcing the world to play with your half supported/half abandoned API initiative? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

The application indicator system has been in place for two years now, which should be long enough for applications to adopt it. If the whitelist was retired, Java and Wine would be hard-coded as the only software still able to use the menu bar as if it was a notification area, because their developers don't necessarily know that Ubuntu even exists.
