Title:
  Notification area whitelist is obsolete

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Mark has asked us to consider retiring the notification area whitelist
  for 12.10. 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.
