[Bug 974480] Re: Notification area whitelist is obsolete

 

It is a bit of a mixture. Looking at my status bar (with hacked unity) I
see an external (bought in) app - antivirus. Skype is sometimes quoted
by others.

I also see two internal icons, which are related to our internal
compliance.

I also have two IBM applications which are sold, and will try and pursue
bugs against them internally as they are chat and email apps.

I've sent a bit more detail privately.

Title:
  Notification area whitelist is obsolete

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Mark has asked us to consider retiring the notification area whitelist
  for 12.10. The application indicator system has been in place for two
  years now, which should be long enough for applications to adopt it.

  If the whitelist was retired, Java and Wine would be hard-coded as the
  only software still able to use the menu bar as if it was a
  notification area, because their developers don't necessarily know
  that Ubuntu even exists.
