Comment 1 for bug 1012247

I think Screenlets used to do it in GNOME 2, using Unity it's just application indicator.

However, it's not completely clear if Screenlets Manager should show up among indicators, be in system settings or act as a regular program. Technically Screenlets Manager does not indicate much, it's just a launcher, which is not encouraged as an application indicator (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomStatusMenuDesignGuidelines). The same question rises if we think about the system settings dialog, there's no need to clutter it with semi-settings (as often happened in GNOME 2).

Having Screenlets as an application indicator seems to be kind of intuitive though. Additional entry in desktop popup menu would be better though (maybe), but I'm not aware if I can tweak it.

So it's an open question.
