Gentlemen.

I regret not getting to this bug report sooner (why is it originally under synapse?). Anyhow! Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, the solution is no tthat we need to cut off all indicators from BAMF as mterry has done (this kills the tomboy experience for one). The solution is to ensure that programs are properly marking the AppIndicatorCategory for their indicators. BAMF will only expose indicators which are of type APP_INDICATOR_CATEGORY_APPLICATION_STATUS. This is what should be used for applications such as Rhythbox, Banshee, Tomboy (basically anything that may throw up a sustained window or "minimize" to its indicator). Projects like Synapse should use APP_INDICATOR_CATEGORY_OTHER
