Well said. The taste of everybody else is formed by the rest of the 
distribution. I'm pretty sure it's not a matter of things being 
"better" or "worse", it's a matter of what people are used to. Not 
respecting this will annoy people, no matter how good the intentions 
are. A margin to diverge from this for bringing in improvements 
exists, but is quite small.

Ah, competition to what the Ubuntu window manager tries to do already. 
GNUMail.apps icon shows up in the lower left corner as well as in 
Unitys launcher bar.


Oops. I didn't mean to restart discussions I well remember from 5, 8, 
10 years ago. I shall shut up now until I can provide code. :-)

Thanks for writing and maintaining this great app!
