Re: gnote-3.15.0 tray icon removed!

Why has the status icon been removed?

Several reasons:
- - the GTK+ API for it is deprecated (which means it will go away in
the future)
- - the have been multiple bugs with it not showing it properly on one
desktop environment or another
- - it's not really compatible with GNOME (which is still a primary
desktop environment)

The context menu from the tray icon is the way that I (and no
doubt countless other non-gnome users) are used to using gnote.

As a status icon user, can you provide a list of features you use the
most from status icon, that the removal cause inconvenience for?
Note: by "inconvenience" I mean something that is more dificult to use
without it, not that you have to use Gnote differently.

I am a packager with Mageia and use gnote on a daily basis, may I
urge you to reconsider this change?

It's open for discussion. Making Gnote less usable is not the goal.
