Launcher – Quitting Tomboy notes, Skype or Spotify using the Launcher does not remove the indicator icon from the menu bar.

Launcher – Quitting Tomboy notes using the Launcher does not remove the Tomboy notes indicator icon from the menu bar.

Description: Quitting Tomboy notes using the Launcher does not remove the Tomboy notes indicator icon from the menu bar . (Launching Tomboy notes adds the Tomboy notes indicator to the menu bar, this action should be reversed when quitting). Skype and Spotify (running in WINE) also display this behaviour, e.g. when you quit the application the indicator icon is not removed.

Desired behaviour: Quitting a application from the Launcher should remove any custom indicator associated with the application.

There is a general issue with the launcher and application running as "services" (and not having open windows). Here we're looking for a solution for at least these applications.

We need to use explicit entries in the desktop files to add Quit options to the menu that communicate to these applications to perform a full quit as closing their windows does not seem to communicate this to them.
