It was chosen to account for programs like gwibber and liferea, that have both a notification and a status icon. Without that, it is impossible to access the notification from the message tray. The right fix is to detect the persistence capability in libnotify and use that instead of status icons; support for systray is just for compatibility with existing apps. Giovanni
