Comment 50 for bug 527458

Want to have them back - I use them frequently too. Some examples:
- Mozilla Tray: count of unread mails
- Update manager: available package count
- Dropbox: x files to sync
- Network Manager: Network connected and signal quality
- Pulseaudio: selected profile and volume level

@Mark:
If something is broken or inconsisntent, it's not a solution to hide it - fix the source aka read as: fix the phrases and rendering
