What is still not very clear to me is if IM will still be somehow
integrated into the Shell. I know I will be able to reply directly in
the notification, but now if I miss the notification I can always go
back to the contact in the message tray and see the conversation there.
It's been a killer feature for me and many people around me and since
Empathy itself is not very usable in GNOME 3 it'd be a pity to lose the
integration.
What about app icons for the notification area (Dropbox, Pidgin,...),
where will they go?
