Comment 9 for bug 188963

Ok, while a single icon is not much of an issue, I agree that several icons (as described by Octavio Alvarez) can be annoying. I might add a GConf setting for disabling the icon.

Note that this setting would have to be global, shared by all applets (eg. /apps/link-monitor-applet/show-icon), since the GConf settings of a particular applet are really hard to find (they're in /apps/panel/applets/applet_n/prefs, so one has to visit all the applet_n directories to find the right one).
