Status in Indicator Applet: New

Bug description:
Using indicator applet for opening the newest message requires 2 clicks: 1 on 
the indicator applet, and 1 on the name of the person sending the message. I do 
not want to look for who sent me the message when there is something new. I 
want to click indicator applet and be brought to the new message immediately, 
without menu navigation.

I recommend that indicator applet immediately focus the new event when clicked, 
as long as there are events from only one program. This would emulate a good 
notification icon for pidgin and email clients, pidgin showing the new 
conversation window when indicator applet is clicked with new pidgin events, 
and email client showing the new message when clicked.

What happens:
When clicked with new events, indicator applet presents me a menu which clearly 
has only one (interesting) option to choose from, the new message.

What should happen:
When clicked with new events, indicator applet should immediately bring me to 
the new event without forcing useless menu traversal. Conditionally  this could 
be done only when there are new events for only a single application.
