I am marking this as low priority, because:

1. Gnote icon should not be shown in notification area according to GNOME 3.0 recommendations.
2. This is Ubuntu specific.
3. Ubuntu will replace GNOME with Unity in next release. What will happen with indicator-applet then?

3. Probably survive, I have no info about removing this feature

Ubuntu is removing Tomboy and Mono in 12.04, so eventually Gnote may replace it. Support for the indicator-applet would bring a better integration with the OS and make it a possible candidate for the default install, so this request seems very compeling.

If this is specific to Ubuntu then maybe Ubuntu should contribute. And PAY a developer to do it for them.

I means "OR" not "And"

to Hubert:
Yeah, probably they should, but if they need to have it integrated, they will do it. But if developer wants to be integrated in Ubuntu (most popular distro), then why not to do it on his own? I doubt you are paid for C++ port of Tomboy, if so, then you are right.

If we wanted to go for "popular" we'd be porting to Windows.

I would appreciate it ;-), but Ubuntu is becoming separate platform, it depends, what is your goal, I use tomboy and I am fine, so nevermind.

I still consider this as low priority.
There plenty of things to implement, that are useful for everyone, not just Ubuntu users.

And please, take political debates somewhere else.

Gnote is defined in its wiki as "a port of Tomboy to C++".
Precisely this is its great advantage over Tomboy: lightweight and independent of mono. 
Tomboy has integration with Unity, why would gnote not? Is it so difficult this enhancement?

Gnote as a port of Tomboy predate Unity. Since, it has evolved on its own path.

You can still provide a patch if it is that easy.

With tray icon removed, this one is sort of obsolete two.
It looks to be long enough no one had interest in implementing it.

Well, I would like to see it implemented, I only lack the skills. This is actually the only thing that keeps me using Tomboy.
