I don't know - this seems reasonable to me.  If an application has a
service component... just provide the service.  As a user why do I
care? There is no need for me to see something unless something
happens.

GNOME Shell runs all kinds of components as background processes -
there is no need to present to the user.  I have numerous Evolution
processes, half a dozen GVFS processes, a GPG agent, an SSH agent, the
zeitgeist-datahub, etc...  I see nothing from them unless I need to.
