Description William Jon McCann 2010-10-12 09:08:15 UTC 
GNOME 3 won't really have support for status icons.

Currently it seems that epiphany uses a status icon to indicate or access downloaded files.  We'll need to find a different solution for that.  My recommendation is to simply use libnotify to send a message to the user when the downloads are done.  To show progress of the downloads I recommend something within the browser window - possibly similar to how firefox4/chrome are handling this.

We already had a bug with the same issue and basically the same proposal some time ago, although Dan suggested we could survive without any changes. Closing as dupe, although I'll mention the link there.

That was when we were planning to move trayicons to the message tray but not deprecate them. Now the plan is to get rid of them as much as possible.
