Re: [Ayatana] Message Indicator: Listing apps in menu even if they are not on

So, what is the indication that "the thing is not running"? It took me months to find out that, just because Evolution showed up in the messaging menu, it didn't mean that part of evolution was running and checking for new messages. That I had to open the evolution UI in addition to it being in the messaging menu was very non-intuitive.
Yes, this is a bad result.

In the design discussions, there was supposed to be a difference between the menu entries when the application is running, and when it is not running. So, for example:

 --------
 Monitor email with Evolution
 --------

vs

 -------
 Show Evolution Addressbook
 Inbox (43)
 Compose new message
 --------

Ted, MPT, can you comment on the decisions made for 9.10, and plans for 10.04 in this specific regard?
