well, the proposal I've made is to patch gtk_status_icon_* API in GTK,
so that we don't have to patch any app at all, as they would be already
be using the GTK API. So this means no more indicator patches. So yes,
it would be a change in one place + the removal of all the appindicator
patches in our packages
