Compatibililty with Other Plugins #14

This is part feature request part bug. Right now if you enable status icons on the second monitor you get the "vanilla" gnome-shell status icons. Things like media player controller extensions, extensions that affect the system menu, or disable the accessibility menu only work on one of the two monitors. It would be nice if the status menu had the same modifications on both monitors.

Yeh compatibility between different extensions is always a problem. Unfortunately I am not sure I can fix that kind of issue on my end, and probably support needs to be added to the other extension (although extensions load order can still cause nightmares).

I think in theory it should be possbile to clone the existing popupmenuitem, rather than generating a new instance, however I could never get it to work. And even if I could, then this extension must always be the last to load.
