Geoff Goehle has had a patch/branch ready for a *very* long time:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460483>

Though I have not tested it, from what what is mentioned on the bug
report it is a modification of the evolution-indicator plugin and seems
to be working great for a lot of folks.

It just needs review from either mpt or njpatel and we could ship it for
Natty.
