i am developing a little app myself (persy) and the hicolor theme folder works fine. this is copied this from another project. i dont know if its the best place but its a least a working place :)
hm. if done right, an app indicator will fallback to a status icon if the indicator stuff is not available on the os. this way it will still work on fedora etc. i would just merge them and provide a easy method to autostart the indicator (+ maybe a desktop menu entry?!). the gnome-applet will be there if somebody really needs it but it should not be the default.
