Well, if it is for an IM client, I don't think it's wrong to use the
notification area. Some people think it is, some don't. There was a
huge discussion about it without any consensus. Hence the rest of my
previous email.

I thought you were talking about using the notification area instead
of making an ordinary applet just for the sake of cross-desktop
support.
