The approver is only used so that Unity can choose to put some of the application indicators into the Unity launcher.  We needed some way to know which ones Unity was stealing.  So the workflow is that the applications will register like normal and there is a possible approver there.  The approver can then grab the application so that it doesn't show in the panel.  As far as the application is concerned there is no difference.  It is then the approver's job to handle that application and it's menus.  In the Unity case this would be by showing it, along with its menus, in the Unity launcher.
