Comment 5 for bug 588086

Looks great. Had I implemented it I would probably have made it check for appindicator in the python script at runtime and have the script fall back to statusicon if it isn't found. I think your solution, where either statusicon or appindicator is built in, is superior because only one of them is really needed. What I would like is a configure parameter, let's call it --enable-gui, that would take one of three argument: "no", "statusicon" or "appindicator". Hope you get the idea. I can do this when I merge your branch, though, if you don't want to mess too much with the autoconf script.
