Clear names of people who replied to you from indicator-applet when "read"

[Greg Grossmeier]

People reply to me. I am notified of this via the notification bubble, I also see it in my stream in gwibber.

I *also* see it in the indicator applet under Broadcast. There is is displayed as "<name_of_who_replied_to_me> <how_long_ago_that_was>"

However, to clear those names out of the indicator applet, I have to click on each one individually.

There must be a better way of doing this.
1) knowing if a message has been read or not, and clearing based on that.
2) not closing the indicator-applet menu on click so you can click multiple names quickly to get rid of them.
3) something else?

Yes, this is a regression. Gwibber 2.0 automatically cleared all indicators when the Gwibber window gained focus.

I think the same should be implemented for 2.30.

I will also add that the current behavior is inconsistent with Empathy and Evolution, which both clear the indicators when the message is read. I would say that this is more than wishlist.
