But for Lubuntu, which target limited hardware, each Mb is important :) We consider that the gain is not enough vs the memory usage. But this could change in the futur :) However, It was not a complain about indicators. To be complete, the implementation of indicators in lxpanel is also not (IMO) good enough to be enable by default.

How bad is the additional memory usage? I mean, if the answer is we want zero more, there's not much we can do to help. But I'd like to think the appindicators are fairly conservative in that regard. --Ted signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

It's already available for lxpanel / LXDE / Lubuntu, just not enable by default due to the additional memory usage. There is also a xfce panel applet which implement appindicators.

[Oneiric-Topic] Appindicators for xfce4-panel, lxpanel and others?
I've grown very fond of the appindicators and the fact that they work equally well in both gnome-panel and Unity, is something I really appreciate. Now, it seems the Gnome platform is moving away from the traditional way of working with Gnome 2, and that's fine, innovation is good. But I think a lot of people will want to keep working in a similar way to the way they have, and so I think particularly Xfces user base will grow rapidly in the times ahead. Being able to switch and choose different shells at login is a very good thing. But consistency is too, and I think appindicators are an important part of that. It would be good for both developers and users if they were working equally well on Unity, Gnome-panel, Xfce4-panel and Lxpanel. Do you think this is an achievable goal for Oneiric?
