>Hmm, I think Unity had it implement this way.

No, they were the same as ours, they just always foregrounded a window on left
click. 

As for merging with task manager icons, I'm pretty sure it's been tried in the
past as a POC. It's something that works in some cases, but not in others and
you don't really have enough metadata to tell those two apart. Sometimes the
SNI has a different cardinality or presents something different in the icon,
sometimes it 's just duplicate telling us nothing. 

But duplication is better than breaking things.

I think trying to magically change outside of the client's expectation is a bad
direction. If a client asks for a system tray, we should give them one.

What we can do is promote use of the badge API for badges and encourage a phase
out in applications. We currently already support badges in our taskmanager and
it is what Ubuntu used to use for their sidebar.
