Humm... yeah, I don't think we're gonna do that.. reasons are as follow :
- this looks like an ubuntu thing, not a system/linux/freedesktop thing.. I 
don't see why we should waste our time to match one of ubuntu's custom designs.
- this is for Gtk stuff, we use Tcl/Tk, so it already doesn't fit.. not in the 
toolkit, not in the programming language.
- we would need to write a custom library for aMSN that links with gtk (adds 
the gtk dependency to aMSN) just for that, and it doesn't make sense to us 
because we're cross-platform and cross-desktops.
- How would this work on a KDE or Enlightenment environment? this isn't 
standard.. 
aMSN uses a tray icon like everybody else on the planet, and we use an 
extension that is freedesktop compliant.. your 'app indicator' stuff is not 
standard at all as far as I can tell, so I see no reason why we should 
integrate with that.
My opinion is that if Ubuntu wants aMSN to fit better in their desktop, they 
should invest their own time in porting aMSN to this app indicator stuff, and 
send us a patch, we'll gladly review it and merge it, but I do not believe we 
should dedicate our resources for an ubuntu-specific extension to the desktop.
