Re: Message Indicator: Listing apps in menu even if they are not on

Yes, but, it's also uncomfortable to have to go to somewhere else to run 
something you interact with in the messaging menu.
It becomes a bit of a guessing game on where you have to go to run/open an 
application. I'd expect most users to not really understand the difference 
between running and opening an application.

or in the very least are explicitly listed as the ones that should show up as launchers in the menu, either via a whitelist/blacklist preference dialog.
Yes, this may be a good idea so we can guarantee a certain level of sanity with 
our default applications (or the ones we have in our repos).
I'm not sure if that should be tackled as a whitelist/blacklist approach or 
patches against upstream packages though.
