Lol, that's exactly what's already happening. There are two
codepaths, one of which is maintained by upstream Tomboy, and one of
which is occasionally maintained by Canonical.
This bug is one of the "extra bugs" you mention.
Adding a hidden gconf option to let users switch back to the code path
that is supported by upstream would, in point of fact, be quite
trivial.
As it happens, the reason I never accepted this patch upstream is
because I think the tray stuff should all be refactored into add-ins,
so that users can pick which they use. I haven't had time to do the
work, so I haven't taken the appindicator patch, and here we are.
