Notes from the session:

The new libunity API allows applications to display progress bars, counts, quicklists, etc on their launcher icons. The trouble is, very few pre-installed applications make use of this API.
In the Oneiric cycle we should make almost all default installed applications to make use of the launcher API for consistency.
In Natty only these apps had Unity launcher integration:
* Empathy
* Evolution
* Firefox (only a static quicklist, see bug #741046 )
* GNOME screenshot
* Deja Dup (\o/)
* Inkscape
(add more apps if I'm wrong)
That's a very small number of applications. These default applications could benefit from launcher integration (add more apps if they can also benefit from launcher integration):
1) Gwibber (could benefit from counts and quicklists)
2) Update-Manager (counts, progress bars and quicklists)
3) Banshee (quicklists, and should we add progress bars?)
4) Nautilus (quicklist containing a list of favourite folders like Documents, Downloads, Photos, etc, and we could also add progress bars that would come up when something gets copied)
5) Tomboy (dynamic quicklists?)
-> we don't have a good story for tomboy, no submenu support
6) Transmission (quicklists for start/pause/stop)
7) Terminal (quicklists for open a new tab/open a new window).
8) Brasero (progress bars , and should we add quicklists
9) Software Center (Progress Bar)
10) Totem (Quicklist, and maybe bar)
-> no good story for it?
12) Gedit? (quicklist, New document, new window...)
13) [satchitb] file-roller or Archive Manager should have progress bar support while extracting.

Also:
1) Firefox should also have 'Open a New Tab' in its quicklist as discussed on bug #741046)
-> which window will be affected? How is is less a burden than accessing it from within the app
2) Empathy should have 'Contact List' in its quicklist (status change too?).
-> that's a lens
These non-default apps could benefit from integration:
1) GIMP (New image in quicklist)
(add more if you think some of them can also benefit from quicklists)
2) Thunderbird
