Request: Compatibility with Unity Global Menubar extension

[BalthazarDroid]

I realize this is probably a niche request, but this extension adds perfect functionality to Ubuntu's (Linux) messaging menu. Once minimized to the "tray" (in this case Ubuntu's messaging menu) Thunderbird will continue to run in the background and new messages show up in the messaging menu. However, as soon as I minimize the Thunderbird window and bring it back into focus, the global menu disappears. I have to kill Thunderbird and restart to get the menu back, or run it without the global menu. I will post a similar request with the developer of the Unity Global Menubar extension. It would be awesome if these worked together!

It is my understanding that this is a short-coming of the Global Menubar extension. (Unity/libappindicator is not officially supported anyway)
