Hello Alessio,

Don't be sorry at all that you've forked the bumblebee-ui : this is the way open source developping can make program evolve so fast.
I had'nt notice that you've replaced appindicator with Gtk.StatusIcon and it's a nice thing i wanted to do month ago.
The best will probably to use a fallback because appindicator is really nicely integrated on Ubuntu, but if not present the indicator should rely on StatusIcon that is most widely supported.
What we have absolutly to do is to ask the bumblebee-devs for specific dbus messages. This is planned for the 3.1 release of bumblebeeD.
All help is welcome, so if you want to make the app evolve enjoy and please submit you're change to the bumblebee-ui repository.
On mine side, i will try to release a more stable and usable version of the ui based on your commits and the develop branch that is mostly stable.
To communicate with the bumblebee team use the irc describe on the wiki of the bumblebee repository.

Davy.

> Hi glyptostroboides,
> thank you for infos. I'm sorry, maybe it would have been more polite to drop you a line about forking, but mine is actually more or less an experiment (with GITHub, with Python and with GTK...). I'll follow your advice, though, using the develop branch as base, while waiting for/helping on a C rewrite. I cannot guarantee my full participation, I have not much spare time, but I would be glad to do all I can to help. It would be great to have something suitable for Debian too, maybe I can help on that side.

My idea was to write a gnome-shell extension and/or a "status icon" using persistent notifications if available ([1], [2]). I was planning to use Dbus for communications, so it's great to me to hear that you too want do it: I'll wait for a specification on bus name and interface.
