Hi Micah,
I see your point, but the new upstream release of Shutter adds
indicator support that relies on this. Shutter is fairly widely used
and there are blog posts all over and threads in the forums and
AskUbuntu where users are fighting with its lack of indicator support
(see bug #805464). Generally the advise to users is to use gsettings
to add it to the systray white list, something else we probably don't
want to encourage.
Do you think I should bring this up on list?
