It is named "messaging menu" ;) , in the wiki, I guess they expected this naming conflict before-hand. But seriously , the names of the ayatana apps are too similar, indicator-session [previously indicator-applet-sus] , indicator-applet , indicator-* If its messaging menu , labeling the applet similarly would lead to less of such confusions! > I should only be going to the MI when I have messages, and > not when I do not.

Is it a personal preference, you dont like them there ? or is this violating some interface design principle? [Just curious , since you are an interface designer,question not meant to be rude :) ] This option to launch and view all messaging apps in one location is actually quite a nice feature. To me , its like "Everything related to messaging resides here, you can start it from here, see any new events here ... , you dont have to look anywhere else." -- Cheers, mac_v _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
