Bug Description
To reproduce:
* Open XChat or Banshee with the "Notification Area Icon" plugin enabled,
* Quit XChat/Banshee via its quicklist.
=> The launcher icon suggests that the application isn't running while it still is.
---
* Open Banshee with the "Application Indicator for Banshee" plugin (banshee-
* Quit Banshee via its quicklist.
=> The launcher icon's background is colored, but there are no arrows visible. The launcher then doesn't react to a left-click and Banshee can only be focused by using the "Open New Window" quicklist entry.
---
Desired resolution:
- The quicklist 'quit' option should always exit the application. This include services without a mapped window.
- Applications that are running but do not have a mapped window should still be indicated as running by having a white triangle positioned to the left of their Launcher icon.

Hmm, so this a gap in how we manage applicatons or services without a mapped window. From the user perspective, it depends if we want to reflect the existence of a running process, vs represent an application as active if it has a window. I think this is still an open question with design. Hence linking to a design bug for the moment.
The issue with the notification area icon, I'd prefer to put aside however. since we will stop supporting the old systray for Natty.
