Hi,

There is also another guy who port Ayatana stuff to ArchLinux:

https://github.com/City-busz/Arch-Linux-Repository

maybe you can find some help from him.

I'm porting Ayatana to Frugalware and it's not always easy, IMHO
these ubuntu patches (especially the ones for glib2 and gtk2/3) should
be accepted by upstream, some efforts must be done in that way if
we want to see Unity and indicators available on non-ubuntu based
distributions.
