Reverted the parts of your commit that touched indicator.py

Please find a better fix (by the way, the "old" code still works fine with
an ubuntu "classic" session, just not with unity, which has different
process names).

This will probably mean fixing issue #161 along the way
because "indicator-messages-service" has 26 characters.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 (the final release comes out later
today), and I still don't see an indicator for specto in its Unity desktop.

The problem is that the indicator applet API behaves differently when
you're in Unity than when you're in a classic gnome session.

I don't use Ubuntu. Someone needs to come up with a patch.

Yeah, this seems to have been an issue for some time now (since version
11.04):

I don't know how to create an indicator for unity, but here's the API:

Ubunut 12.04 was released this morning. Here's the fastest way to download
