Can we revisit some decisions taken in bug 631553 [1]? Like split
applet/panel menus, or removing help/about items?

Ubuntu has deprecated status icons and is using appindicators, KDE is

There is already indicator-applet for gnome-panel, but it may need a
bit of porting to work in other distributions.
