Re: [Ayatana] No "application bucket" needed

Thanks for the clarification app vs. app with service, and I don't
feel managing the lifetime of thise services to be a general problem
(if it is it is a bug).

I guess users will quickly learn that services behave as you state two
messages above and apps continue to behave (and be under more direct
control of the user). This also provides good guidance of what class
of software has a place on the panel.
