1. I dislike the way that thing replaces Pidgin and Evolution icons instead of letting them reside in the notification menu, which is how GNOME "should" work. Removing the "indicator applet" from the GNOME panel does not restore the correct behavior, my guess is that the applications themselves (Pidgin/Evolution) have been patched by Ubuntu somehow so as to not be able to reside in the notification area.
2. The behavior I expected is how any distribution or version of Ubuntu lower than Jaunty behaves, when I click close on Pidgin, it should go to the notification area, when I close Evolution it should close, and this crapplet is even breaking the Minimize to Tray plugin for Rhythmbox. 3. The behavior I encountered in my words, would be that someone thought it would be dandy to save one-hojillionth of an inch of panel space by stuffing every notification icon into a menu foreign to GNOME itself and by patching applications with special Ubuntu patches, this is a major usability disaster and a half implemented one at that, which breaks unrelated programs (such as Rhythmbox). 4. I would propose that if this function cannot be implemented without patching the crap out of GNOME and the various applications in the repo that need to be in the notification area, that it is probably a very bad idea that should be aborted while we're behind.
