I'm looking for a Indicator Menu, that replaces the notification area. Any Systray Icon should be in a Identicator Menu, because on Netbooks the Application Menus and the Systray Icons overlap sometimes

Can you clarify your question? I have no idea what you're asking for here. – Jorge Castro Jan 22 '11 at 22:56
you know the systray, where all the application icons live, like Dropbox, Networkmanager and so on. I want to move all these Icons in one single drop down menu – burli Jan 22 '11 at 23:01

If I understand your question correctly, you are not looking for a menu but for a GNOME applet that will integrate into a panel and display these icons in an expandable menu-like view. There is no such applet that I know of, but you state that you need this in order to solve space problems on a netbook. If so, I'd suggest creating a second panel, moving the "panel notification area" (aka systray) there and setting the panel to a small size and autohide somewhere on a screen edge.

Alternatively, you could also move any other elements from your main panel there -- I generally create an auto-hiding application launcher on the right screen edge where it does not take away space and is easily reachable by "throwing" the mouse to the top right corner.

It's for Unity, not Gnome – burli Jan 23 '11 at 6:59
