Every other application that has both Notification-Area and Indicator-Applet icons (Banshee, Liferea, Gwibber, Pidgin, etc) still support left/right clicking.
Left click should toggle visibility. Right click should show the menu.
If you want to give it Indicator-Applet behaviour, give it its own Indicator Applet but failover to Notification-Area (like all the other good apps do) so people who don't need or want Indicator-Applet confusing and breaking their tray experience don't have to go without an icon.
I can't believe some of these comments.
