Thankyou very much you are a star! I shall resubmit that vapi file as well

Just two more questions:

1) I have to use the code below to do what I want it to, can I put this
in the init of the class cuz it doesn't appear to work

def create_indicator()
    var ind = new wAppIndicator("wasiliana-wapp", "indicator-messages",
Category.APPLICATION_STATUS)
    ind.set_status(Status.ACTIVE)
    ind.set_attention_icon("indicator-messages-new")

    var menu = new Menu()

    for i:int = 1 to 3
        var buf = "Test-undermenu"
        var menu_items = new MenuItem.with_label(buf)
        menu.append(menu_items)
        menu_items.show()

    ind.set_menu(menu)
    Gtk.main()

2) Perhaps related, in the main.gs file, I have:

init
    Gtk.init(ref args)
    create_indicator()
    Gtk.main()

However, if I don;t put the Gtk.main() in the function above (rather
than the init), it doesn't work. Why is this/is this on purpose?

Nearly there.. :-)
