Yeah, I think all of these can get retargeted.

Like Thomas said, what is left to do here?  Obviously we're not going
to fix everything for 1.2 so I think we should just split/clone this
for specific properties and close 697370?

This one was only about some additional nice-to-have stuff that would
make the applet easier to maintain.  So I went ahead and did the
required dbusmenu changes and applet side (both linked in the bug) but
we have to wait for a code review on Launchpad and a new library
release.  If things happen in the next few weeks I'm happy to merge
that code for 1.2.  But I doubt it...

Thomas fixed this one already it seems.

Yeah, this one should get enabled, and maybe we even add it to editor
while we're at it.  I think domain_suffix_match is also simpler for
users and administrators to implement anyway.

Anything I didn't comment on I agree with your assessment.
