Indicator-applet support added to lxpanel

 

Hi,

I just pushed the first version of indicator-applet support for lxpanel
into Maverick repository. It may take some times to appear in official
repository, so I put it in Lubuntu PPA if people want to test it.

Screenshot for people who doesn't know about indicator applet :

You need to :
- update lxpanel to version >= 0.5.5-4ubuntu2
- install lxpanel-indicator-applet-plugin
- install some indicator packages (like indicator-messages and
indicator-application).
- add indicator applets to your panel

The support is not the same that for Ubuntu applications. For now, only
Pidgin and gnome-power-manager have some support for them.

It's also not by default on Lubuntu installation for now, since it's not
memory free, not many Lubuntu applications used it and some useful
indicators have hard depends on GNOME.

Happy testing :-)

Regards,
Julien Lavergne
