Hello all, According to the MessagingMenu spec, registered message applications will always be listed in the menu regardless if it is running or not [1]; however, there is no explanation or justification for doing this.
My question is: Why? To what purpose are all registered applications always listed in the MI, regardless if they are running or not, if they have messages or not, if the user even uses them or not. Providing users with another way to launch applications is an inaccurate rationale. It is a message indicator, not a message dashboard. I should only be going to the MI when I have messages, and not when I do not. The MI is only relevant when I have messages which occur of applications which are running and have given me messages, or might have closed with unread messages. Any application which does not have a message is irrelevant to the MI. [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu#Treatment of the API -- Celeste Lyn Paul KDE Usability Project KDE e.V.
