GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 631738
Don't use a status icon if the notification server supports persistence
Last modified: 2010-10-27 22:18:44 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. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Guidelines/MessageTray/Compatibility
