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

["Paulo J. S. Silva" <pjssilva@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If this is the direction, let it be...

the icons and only get rid of them all at once. Instead of having some
menus with and others without icons. Visual consistency is important,
IMHO.

best,

Paulo
