[Bug 460483] Re: The plugin should allow Evolution to close to the indicator-applet

[Michael Terry]

Geoff, you've done great work here!  I really like the idea of squashing
this bug and your enthusiasm for doing it.  But I see two blockers to
merging it as-is:

1) As Vish says though, we need to get some sort of buy-in from Neil or
Matthew on the design side.

2) I don't actually see a patch or merge proposal here for review.  I
see your project's trunk, but not sure what the differences are from
normal evolution-indicator.  Can you branch evolution-indicator trunk
and propose a merge back against trunk?  That way, it can be reviewed by
the maintainers.

I'm going to unsubscribe ubuntu-sponsors until blockers are cleared up.

Bug description:
Among all applications currently integrated with the indicator-applet (Empathy/Pidgin, Evolution, Gwibber), Evolution is the only one without a close-to-tray functionality. This is inconsistent as it forces the user to leave it open in order to use the indicator-applet properly. Close-to-tray functionality has been implemented for Evolution before, so I guess it's possible:
