Hello.

It'd be nice to have a taskbar application icon badge with the number of unread highlights/mentions.

In KMail, for instance, such a badge is implemented via com.canonical.Unity.LauncherEntry DBus call.

Having this feature implemented would be pretty handy, and this would allow disabling systray icon so that there would be less duplicated icons on the panel and hence less visual noise.

Thanks.

An example of implementation taken from RSS Guard:

```
QDBusMessage signal = QDBusMessage::createSignal(QSL("/"),
    QSL("com.canonical.Unity.LauncherEntry"),
    QSL("Update"));

signal << QSL("application://%1").arg(APP_DESKTOP_ENTRY_FILE);

QVariantMap setProperty;

setProperty.insert("count", qint64(unread_messages));
setProperty.insert("count-visible", unread_messages > 0);

signal << setProperty;

QDBusConnection::sessionBus().send(signal);
```
