Ping for developers - this is still a problem in Natty.

I understand that Ubuntu may not be interested in supporting non-indicator behavior, but the problem is caused by the indicator support patch developed by Ubuntu developers and it seriously hurts multi-language Ubuntu users that choose to stop using the default indicator applet - so I think the people causing the problem have a moral obligation to make sure their changes do not cause regressions with existing uses.

As a further note - the GNOME decision not to include the indicator support patch in their upstream simply on the basis that GNOME does not ship the indicator applet is arrogant and annoying, but even otherwise they would have probably not accepted the patch anyway if it causes regressions. If Ubuntu developers have any hope of ever pushing the patch upstream they should fix this issue.
