Comment 4 for bug 609827

I'm fed up of Ubuntu patches just wiping out perfectly good Notification Area icons. Notification Area is currently more functional and easier to use than the "space saving" Indicator Applet. I've got 3840px of screen width; I don't need to save space!

In short, can this patchset (that is from Ubuntu - not upstream) be replaced with something that looks for a Indicator Applet instance before adding to it, and falling back to Notification Area if it can't find one.
