Bug Description
Many applications do not have any other windows or menus except for an indicator applet (eg.: Pastie, Dropbox, Network Manager, Volume control, Redshift) and in time the topbar gets pretty clutterd with icons that don't fit into any category (i.e. don't integrate into the sound menu or messaging menu). This isn't a big issue with larger screens but on a netbook can get verry troublesome.
The problem will get even worse since starting with Natty the classic system tray and gnome-panel applets won't be supported.
An autohide functionality like in KDE would be very helpful.

We would not do an auto-hide system without substantial justification.
What would be most helpful for this analysis is a list of existing
indicators, perhaps one could be started on the wiki?
