Every indicator that was in my gnome systray is there on tint2 systray &
Launchers can be added.*

Enhance tint2 instead of rewrite lxpanel?
I'm sorry to think that it's always better to improve already existing and
working programs instead of beginning everything from scratch (as pcman
said that a lxpanel rewrite would be ;)

Anyways, I'm not a dev so is up to them :)
I'm just trying to point options here :)

would be cool)
