GNOME 2.7.4 Released

О! Обратимся к "Библии". Свежевышедший HIG 2.0 (а именно, http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/desktop-notification-area.html):

> Warning

> The utility of the notification area decreases rapidly when more than about four icons are always present. For this reason, icons that appear only temporarily in response to events are preferable.

Индикатор клавиатуры - ни в коем случае не temporary. Но это еще не все...

> You should probably write an applet instead of using the notification area if:

> * clicking your notification area icon does anything other than opening a window directly associated with the icon (e.g. a mail folder window for a new mail icon, or a print queue window for printer notification icon), or

> * there are icon-specific options on its context menu for doing anything other than that

> * your application would ever need to display more than one notification icon at the same time

gswitchit удовлетворяет первым двум из трех критериев.
