Michał, I disagree. The indicators are menus, and they should behave as
such: activating a menu item closes the menu. Relying on indicators to
send a message to close the menu sounds error prone and wasteful.

However, I agree with Matthew that there are some exceptions. Keeping
the menu open to display the switch changing is just a special case of
the above rule. For the other cases, we could have a flag on the menu
item that signifies that the shell should keep the menu open after the
item is activated. I imagine this is by far the minority, so it should
be opt-in.
