Hehe, don't make me nostalgic... :)

Too late, here's the flame:
the problem is NOT about the way to show that to the user,
but about the way to implement this, possibly so that it works
with non-KDE apps.
Do you think it's as simple as saying "I want a 3-color led" ?
Deciding on the user interface for this feature is really
not the hard bit, and is really secondary, given
the current status.
Please read those three posts:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&w=2&r=1&s=kicker+indication&q=b
You'll see that the problem was discussed before, that
a lot of thinking has already been done on the what and how,
and IIRC that some code was also started.
I don't know why it didn't get further though,
and while we don't have an answer from Rik, it is
strictly useless to go on with this discussion, IMHO.
David.
