information that the tooltip previously did.

That's the worst usability suggestion I've read in a really long time.
I can't believe someone put something that bad in appindicator's "Design
Guidelines" document.

IMO this is a libappindicator bug.  For something that's causing client
apps to write ifdefs around their GtkStatusIcon code already, it should
not add the extra inconvenience of forcing client applications to resort
to terrible, awful, ugly, unintuitive, clumsy, embarassingly bad hacks
that, even if implemented, *still* don't match the end-user ease-of-use
as a mouseover tooltip.
