On the topic of the HIG, please do not call this "preferences" if it is
to control a single thing. There is no practical reason to give this a
generic name, so call it what is is: "Message sources..." or somewhere
along those lines :)

For that matter, it is probably worth examining how many launchers there
are actually going to be before throwing in a new toplevel window. How
about a sub menu of "Message Sources" that has a list of toggleable menu
items?

What happens if the user disables all message sources so that the
indicator applet vanishes?


Thanks,
