Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

For example, in Ubuntu we have:

  • indicator-application
  • indicator-application-gtk2
  • indicator-sound
  • indicator-sound-gtk2

but other indicators have only a single version that works on both:

  • indicator-cpufreq
  • indicator-weather

still others have no gtk2 version and will NOT work with gtk2-based desktops:

  • indicator-messaging

Why do some indicators need to be maintained in two versions while others do not?
