Completely agree. It should be a dbus-based protocol, perhaps also
using dbusmenu. And the decorator should have the freedom to ignore
windicator signals completely if it wants, because no application
should *depend* on having window indicators being shown, just like
no windowed application should depend on having an icon on the
notification area.

In my opinion, CSD will destroy the only point of *ensured* visual
consistency among windowed applications, and bring to titlebars
all the inconsistency potential we currently have in the
notification area.
