We have specified a preference dialog for the messaging menu. The reason is for blacklisting applications. Originally the control of whether the launcher is in the messaging menu was in the application preferences. Which is nice. But in the case where someone gets an application that they know they don't use, they have to open that application and find the setting to remove it. Which is a pain. But, it is then also compounded by the fact that most messaging applications prompt to set up an account on first run before they'd even give you the choice to set preferences. So, to remove an application you know you're not going to use you'd have to start it, configure it, and then set the preference to remove it.

I think that it is hard to discover if your goal is to hide the icon. But I think in that case people will remove the applet. I think that we can let people make a choice to remove applications application by application. We don't need an override for that. --Ted
