This was already discussed *extensively* , very recently > [Ayatana]
[Bug 410220] Re: Indicator applet Always shows icon
https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg00525.html , you can folow the
thread.

And the conclusion was , user can remove the apps if the user doesnt
want it shown there and not to show icon if user removes all the apps
from the menu.

But your point of 10-20 apps! how many users do you think are going to
have so many installed? something like this would be an rare anomaly !
We cant possibly plan for every such rarity.
