Comment 164 for bug 527458

Actually at first I wanted to phrase my opinion in a non offensive manner, since I had already filed a bug before about a similar problem concerning the application indicator, only to discover that my opinion and in fact the entire bugreport was plainly ignored and the report marked "wont fix". As a justification for this it was stated that it was a "design decision" and if I wanted to know more about it, I should consult this bug right here, amongst others. So I did and I discovered that most of what I had already complained about is already mentioned here and the response by you and the other people who could actually do something about this issue, is to just plainly ignore it.

About 180 people have already marked themselves as affected by this and the arguments obove could already by themselves fill a book and yet this bug is also listed as "wont fix". Which tells me that anything I would mention here would still be ignored. So why even bother to argument about it.

Even though you are wrong with this so called "design decision" (and if 180 people from the community say you are wrong, then you plainly are), you are still going to stick to it, you have made that clear.

So excuse me if I phrase my utter discomfort about this issue in a manner that doesn't suit your presicous coc, but since all regular arguments are being ignored anyway, this seams to be the only way to get your attention.

And what is the point of using a panel applet that according to the response to my other bugreport is going to be discontinued soon anyway, because when its dropped eventually, all we are left to use is this disfunctional piece of software I am complaining about anyway.
