[Bug 540490] Re: liferea should be added to the indicator applet

[Maia Kozheva]

So, here's the plan for new behavior I'm going to implement:

Clicking on any item in the indicator menu brings up the Liferea window and removes *all* subitems from the indicator menu, leaving only the main "Liferea" one.
If the main item is clicked, the window is shown in the state it had when last closed/minimized/deactivated.
If one of the subitems is clicked, its corresponding feed is selected.
The indicator menu is not updated as long as the Liferea window is active. For example, pressing the update button in the window itself and leaving it in the foreground will not highlight the indicator icon.


As for the setting... I'm really not keen of the idea of introducing non-upstream-compatible gconf keys for something comparatively trivial like this. Ultimately, it depends on what the core developers want to do, since upstream doesn't want a patch for Ubuntu-specific features.

Binary package hint: liferea

Just as gwibber, pidgin, empathy and evolution, liferea should be held available in the indicator applet because it clearly belongs to the communication/news department as well. It would be nice to see the count of unread messages, to be able to activate the window or to start the application.
