(Get the code!)
I have a port for s-c now at: lp:~mvo/update-notifier/app-indicator-port
But I'm slightly concerned about adding it at this point of the cycle, mostly because of the
various derivatives using update-notifier. It looks like xubuntu and lubuntu do not have libappindicator
on their default installs, so this would add another dependency for them (not sure how much that
matters for them).
The fallback mode of the app-indicator is also not ideal, if there is no indicator support it will use
a GtkStatusIcon, but it does not provide the full API of it, most importantly for me is that it does
not support setting tooltips for the icon. So that would be a regression for anyone not running
unity.
I look into what can be done to fix this next but the GtkStatusIcon that is used as the fallback is in
the private data so I can not access that. I will see if I can use the "connected" property of the
indicator to do a manual fallback.
