22. My brother recommended I might like this blog. He was entirely right. This post actually made my day. You can not imagine just how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!

There is a patch attached to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607800 that adapts the Banshee.NotificationArea extension to use AppIndicator if it was compiled with –enable-appindicator and when that library is installed.

I’ve added an option to Banshee’s preferences for disabling the Application Indicator and use the other instead.

However, there is still an issue with that preference; when you toggle the checkbox Banshee automatically switches the tray icon, but the old menu is retained — if I would dispose it Banshee would throw all kind of nasty exceptions and crash — and some menu items that were already added are added again.

I’m not sure whether the patch will be accepted for 1.6.0, though. I do hope it will because it is the version that’s eventually going to be shipped by Ubuntu Lucid.

I am excited to see work on ading application indicator support to Banshee. It is my favorite media player and with it’s strong design I hope you are not finding to much trouble adding this functionality. I imagine it is going to be finally implemented as an extension like the current notification icon is.

Thanks so much for your work on this! Using transmission in Lucid is such an utterly pleasant experience now with the new indicator applet. Keep up the great work on other applications! Hopefully we’ll see network-manager use this system in Lucid+1.
