i3 has a "bar" which is a bit like GNOME's mini-commander applet - it
displays output of a command (that by default shows things like battery
charge and system load), but it doesn't have any interactive bits other
than a system tray. In particular, it doesn't include a volume control,
so I really appreciated the one from gnome-flashback.

I don't actually use the input-sources indicator, but I can imagine that
being important to some people.

No, I studied the files installed by Debian's gnome-flashback package,
and figured out what I needed to modify.
