Some of that needs a bit of rewriting - I'm having a look at it now,
but I'm puzzled by one particular line:
Mike Gabriel [...]reports on the upcoming shift to Ayatana
Application Indicators in Debian and work on generalizing the
functionality of indicator icon applications to make them more
gnostic on other desktop environments.
"More gnostic"? If that's the same as "less desktop-agnostic",
wouldn't it be a bad thing? This use of "agnostic" to mean "neutral"
is a rather odd piece of developerese in the first place, so my
revision currently has:
functionality of indicator icon applications to make them more
independent of the desktop environment used.
