Hi Michael,
you mean like this last discussion [0], that was labeled Out of Scope?

Hi Daniel,
Although I agree that we should support tray icons out-of-the-box, I'd
rather do this in a way that would be upstreamable so that we don't
wind up requiring a shell extension to make this work. AppIndicator
has been rejected from GNOME due to serious technical problems [1], so
that particular approach seems to be a dead end and probably not
useful to focus on. And adding support for AppIndicator now would
likely pose backwards-compatibility issues in the future, given that
any upstream implementation of tray icons is likely to be incompatible.
The GNOME design team has previously expressed willingness to explore
designs for tray icons, and I think GNOME community has a rough
consensus that some form of tray icons would be desirable (see the
most recent discussion at [2]), but I don't think there are any
designs yet. I think we're a bit stuck on coordination problems right
now: nobody is quite sure what this would look like, and nobody is
working on it. So I think the place to start would be to take this
upstream to the GNOME community and try to work out something that
could be adopted everywhere, rather than as a shell extension.
Thanks for your interest,
Michael
