Yes, in fact when I first saw this I was surprised that it wasn't a
separate package indeed. It seems like it would be better than being a
huge patch, and more maintainable.

I was mainly complaining that Ubuntu updated to 1.3.2 without sending
this update to Debian. Ideally the updates would be done there first
and then merged back to Ubuntu

btw Sandy, have you discussed taking the appindicator patch upstream?
It should be doable with an optional dep/enable flag, I hope. :)

btw2, I'm going to reopen this bug since the fix is bad and should be
done correctly.
