Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
On upgrade the Indicator applet should be added to the panel so that users can respond to messages that they see in their notifications. It should be inserted at the end of the applet stack as much as possible and aligned right. So, it should appear slightly to the left of the notification area. This isn't the default placement with a clean install, but it should make the insertion MUCH easier and has been deemed good for putting it on the panel.
I don't think that we need to worry too much about panels that have been radically configured, there will be some misplacement, but considering it's only an insertion we can let the panels dynamic reallocation take care of making it reasonable.
For the individal applet settings (locking,etc.) please copy them out of the GNOME Panel defaults.
Thank you.

I have tested this script a number of times, including in a pristine VM which was installed from an iso from before notify-osd was included. I did a dist-upgrade then ran the script. The applet was added just to the left of the notification area.
I also tested the scenario without a notification area, and got the desired error message.
Looks good!
