It is?  I upgraded this very laptop from Intrepid to Jaunty (after the
beta window) and I have this indicator-applet.  It display a pretty little
envelope, no idea why and clicking it just shows me a list containing
pidgin, clicking that brings pidgin up.  Having had it for a week I still
don't know what its doing for me, if someone could enlighten me ...
