It collects notifications. If you go away from the computer and receive a message, the notification will be long gone when you get back. The indicator applet will allow you to see them.

I like the indicator applet in theory. My issue is that instead of clearing up clutter, I now actually have much more. If I open pidgin I now have the indicator applet, the pidgin notification area icon, and the FUSA shows pidgin status as well....

What do you know! It's fixed now! pidgin can now minimize to the indicator applet.

pidgin (1:2.5.5-1ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

* Adding debian/patches/11_buddy_list_really_show.patch to make
it so that the buddy list tries harder to appear. This fixes
some issues with it not appearing. (LP: #341142)
* Adding debian/patches/10_docklet_default_off.patch to set the
default behavior to have no notification area icon. This fixes
