Issues:
- Ongoing conflict between broadcom drivers for wireless and ethernet card mean neither is working
- Can't have more than 3 windows maximised at any one time - next window appears blank.
Fix for getting notifications of thunderbird messages in the top right messages area.
After some more research figured it out what I needed to do.
Edit or add a file in usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/
I choose to edit a current file since I wanted evolution to not be there.
Opened file usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution
Changed the line usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop to usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop (paths may vary depending on what you're trying to launch)
Save file and renamed it to thunderbird (remember I only renamed because I choose to edit the evolution file).
Logout or restart. ( I restarted, but I imagine logging out would give the same result)
The indicator dropdown should now only have what you want in it.
Cheers.
