Description Jorge Castro 2010-01-12 16:34:50 UTC 
We would like to support application-indicators for seahorse as proposed
at this page:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators

The work has not started, so I wanted to open this bug as a placeholder and to
get feedback on the feature, thanks!

Jorge,

This doesn't appear to really have any GNOME/upstream buy in yet.  In any case, it's the daemon not the applet that has a status notifier and the applet is now in seahorse-plugins.
Comment 2 Stef Walter 2010-02-14 16:13:08 UTC 
FWIW, I've been thinking some about moving the gpg agent into gnome-keyring. It would allow tighter security, and one less moving part on the desktop, and eventually allow implementing some of the RSA/key based parts of a GPG agent, not just password caching.

If we do this, then I was also thinking of having an (optional) applet that shows all the 'unlocked' stuff in gnome-keyring-daemon from a single icon.
Comment 3 Adam Schreiber 2010-02-14 16:24:51 UTC 
Stef: That would make sense given that the ssh-agent is already there.  It would also be a good place to extend the card reader and certs/keys on smart cards functionality present in gpg2.

seahorse doesn't use a GtkStatusIcon nowadays, that's obsolete
