Hi all,

I am aware that several improvements will be made to the Me Menu
for Maverick in order to complete what the specification requires.

After some time actually using the Me Menu in Lucid, though, one
thing is bothering me with respect to the specification itself:
the lack of any kind of feedback in case the broadcasting went
well. The specification states that notification bubble should
be only sent if some error has occurred.

I thought it would be just a matter of getting used to it, but
after a long time that didn't happen: I just *had* to open
Gwibber after posting something in order to make sure it was
there and have peace of mind.

Can someone shed a light on the *exact* reasoning behind the
*total* absence of feedback? I'd suggest sending a notification
bubble if the broadcasting was successful as well.

That said, however, he Me Menu is already very convenient now,
thanks to polishing such as automatically focusing the text
bar, allowing me to just click on the indicator and start
typing. With a little more polish, it can be quite awesome
in this age of constant microblogging.
