Bug Description

The constructor of AppIndicator.ApplicationIndicator cannot be overridden in the C# bindings. This is caused by the following check added tot the Mono bindings generated by GAPI:

if (GetType () != typeof (ApplicationIndicator)) {
 throw new InvalidOperationException ("Can't override this constructor.");
}

This has as a consequence that the fallback methods cannot be overridden in C#.

However, this does not fix the issues with Fallback and Unfallback as GAPI doesn't support virtual members and therefore those two methods are never generated in C#.

More correctly: GAPI has been supporting virtual methods since before the release of Karmic, but due a conservative maintenance policy this new functionality will most likely be included as soon as GTK# 3, which will be released September 2010 if everything goes well.
