"With a persistent indicator for activity or progress, we can also see, when
the computer is idle: very important state to be aware of!"

So if i'm downloading something in firebox that computer is still idle
because it's not in the indicator menu? What about 3rd party applications?

"transmission indicator, brasero indicator, file operations indicator from
nautilus etc.." in one menu.... Rather then just having them in the
application bar? both locations? why not just have the task bar able to show
progress. Then each developer can add in the progress indicator to his own
application, that way all applications have the same potential rather then
only selecting few.
