Description William Jon McCann 2010-10-09 07:10:58 UTC 
The GNOME notification servers (gnome-shell and notification-daemon >= 0.6.0)
support notification persistence.  This means that notification bubbles won't
be transient and require backing with a status icon.  We can drop use of status
icons in these cases.

No way to support customizable popup menu over the "new" status icon?
Comment 4 William Jon McCann 2010-10-26 21:50:06 UTC 
Correct, not without adding a custom shell extension.
Comment 5 Milan Crha 2010-10-27 06:36:09 UTC 
Ah, that's bad, because we had a functionality on it. It seems like a step back from the shell side :(
Comment 6 Matthew Barnes 2010-10-27 19:19:39 UTC 
Committed a variation of Jon's patch for 2.91.2, which eliminates the status icon but now the default notify action presents the main window like the status icon's activate handler used to.  Also documented why we need to continue checking whether notify actions are supported (basically, for Ubuntu's Notify OSD).
