Bug Description
I develop deja-dup. I currently use an appindicator to convey progress and to show a few menu items during a backup. For natty, I was excited to port those over to the launcher icon support in libunity and do away with the appindicator.
However, I now understand that dynamic QLs won't be available in time for natty (bug 729074). So I may go back to appindicators for natty.
But this got me thinking. Imagine for oneiric, when QLs are fixed. And the same version of deja-dup could be run in both natty and oneiric.
Ideally there would be a way to query version or (even more ideally) capabilities. So that I could use either an appindicator or libunity depending on how capable the version of unity is.
