Oxide can be removed. It's no longer supported.

[Jamie Strandboge]

Are all of these unsupported? I know that the signage effort was
initially using webapp-container (part of webbrowser-app) with mir. Even
if webbrowser-app were removed, oxide-qt might still be interesting for
signage/etc since it can be used with upstream Qt.

I've not heard an official statement on these as they relate to signage
(et al), so I thought I'd ask.

It's /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop, so...

  application://ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop is in Unity's favourites 
  by default

and the chain is

 unity-webapps-service -> webapp-container -> webbrowser-app

I heard that we need to keep this, so if it is confirmed that Oxide, the
web browser and the Unity webapps are to be removed, then we will need
to provide this in another way. The desktop team will do that. (An
initial implementation might just be opening a new tab in Firefox.)

Title:
  Does not work in non-Unity DEs/Xsessions

Status in indicator-session package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Clicking any of the actions that require a prompt - shutdown, restart, etc. - 
in a non-Unity X session do not work. This seems to be caused by prompt 
selection code in 
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-session/trunk.14.04/view/head:/src/backend-dbus/actions.c#L94
 - it always assumes  that Unity prompt is available even if it, in fact, is 
not. 
  Checking for availability of Zenity prompt first is reported to fix this.

  For a proper solution the code responsible for detecting Unity prompt 
availability should be improved. Right now it seems to be simply checking if it 
can access D-bus. I assume the prompt is invoked via a D-bus call so I've 
investigated checking for name presence on the bus, but that can potentially be 
slow since it has a manually-set timeout. 
  Checking the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable and only showing the Unity prompt 
if it's set to "Unity" sounds like a better idea to me, but I'm not sure if the 
variable is set on Ubuntu Touch at all.
