Not in my opinion... if it's for "indications/messages" then it has no right 
to pretend to be anything other than that (i.e. a menu). Trying to be a menu, 
seems counterintuitive to me. We already have a menu, and presenting the user 
with two places to look... confusing. IMO.

Personally, I only want to see "active" message indications, and not wade 
through a potentially long list of applications. Lets assume one could install 
10-20 different messaging apps, and they all show up here, how big would the 
messaging pane appear on your screen in this scenario? 

I'm no Ul expert, but that seems rather "clunky". However, if we only show 
active apps/messages, that list should be substantially smaller (in theory).

Cheers,
Rod.
