I'm not sure how we can take care of that case. I think in general we
could default to not having it in the notification area, and then allow
for people to enable it if they want to use it. To be clear, I don't
want to migrate current user settings here, I don't think that we can do
that in this case. I want to just change the default for new
installations where people wouldn't expect it to be in the notification
area already.
