One problem with it being a notification area icon is that it's less usable on dual monitor setups. You could have a separate layout indicator applet on every monitor, but have 2 notification areas just don't work. [This is a long know bug #128735, which is hard to solve due to the design of notification area.]
The new Indicator Applet does works well when instantiated twice, so I can see and adjust volume & power on both monitors. It'd be sweet if the keyboard layout management could be migrated to the new indicator framework as well... -- no keyboard indicator applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549654 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
