I've been using "xfce4-panel". You can have it float, or dock it to the side of the screen. It also does other stuff (task switcher, etc), but I just removed all that and put the indicator area widget on it.

(The last one to start takes control of the notification area.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to libappindicator in Ubuntu.
