Support libayatana-appindicator-glib

Open tpikonen opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

The successor to libayatana-appindicator3 seems to be libayatana-appindicator-glib, but the examples do not work with this extension (see https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator-glib/issues/87). The reason is apparently API incompatibility https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator-glib/issues/89.

Is it possible to add support for libayatana-appindicator-glib?

While using GMenu would have been nicer, indeed the SNI API is not supposed to use GMenu, so I feel it's libayatana-appindicator-glib that should be fixed.

I've expressed my thinking in https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator-glib/pull/82#issuecomment-3420033460 but I don't think we should support a protocol fork (even if technically better) by making it working at wider scope, but rather isolate it.
