Peter (#257): you are correct to note "[I] can't believe it took 4 years
.. to".   The problem itself has had been known about for three years
(as evidenced by this bug report filed in December 2007) before designs
were done, those designs tested, and ultimately deployed.

The word "realisation" can mean both in English: realising (knowing
about) and realisation (developing, designing, deploying, testing a
proposed solution).  It's only in the last year or so that the Ayatana
project has started to design and push the more radical ideas and code
changes necessary to complete a solution.

I hope the solution in Ubuntu 11.04 is useful (but it has required some
pretty extensive code changes so is not easily backported to previous
versions of Ubuntu without backporting the whole lot).
