Comment 28 for bug 449260

Setting this back to won't fix. The current design limits "draw-attention" to events that you probably should address now/soon. Which include email and chat. Gwibber messages don't draw-attention, so they won't cause the icon to get the color. Idea being if the icon is green, you should really look at it. Discussion of the design should really happen on the ayatana mailing list.
