Comment 10 for bug 1412156

Today something changed at my system and the text appeared on indicator.

At first I tried to fiddle thru the settings but nothing seemed to hide such text. Also I've found the empty line in the indicators menu quite surprising, and at first I thought that that might be the issue.. so I removed that line.

Then I went to dconf but also nothing caught my attention there, so I search on the web and after reading your comments here I'm with a full understanding about how to remove such text using the mouse wheel (with the empty indicator trick added) and I can see how the `indicator-expression-index` works .. but still makes me wonder if there's something we could do to improve the current UI.

The empty indicator trick could be replaced with something else less .. hacky. How about using any value < 0 to indicate "disable text indicators"

Also the UI could use a dropdown or a boolean option, to enable users switching that option from the settings.
