I think it's really good to have only one icon for messaging and Presence up
in the panel, much tidier, less confusing.
Which one will it be now?
The envelope doesn't really indicate presence, wouldn't perhaps the speech
bubble make sense up there as an indicator icon for the merged menu?
I like the mockups very much, they take what's there and just make it work
as one, efficient and neat!
