I agree with Scott. But also I still don't understand why windicators should be placed 
on the right side of the bar since we already have Notify OSD bubble on the same side so 
potentially we could have to deal with transient notification covering Windicators.

On the left side of the bar there could be exactly the same space if we make the title 
slide to the right when Windicator needs more space and having notification OSD covering 
minimize,mazimize,close buttons being ephemeral it's not an issue and we're already used 
to it.

I'm looking forward to see you all at UDS :)

Ciao!
