Yes, you've grasped the basic idea. Indicators are meant primarily as anindication of something, like a notification that you can or shouldrespond to. Many applications should rather use a quicklist than anindicator.

I absolutely agree that Transmission should rather use Quicklists thanindicator as its currently being used, simply because it's just a menuand doesn't indicate anything.

With regards to Skype, you'll have to use Skype/Microsofts bug tracker,I guess. :)
