"A library to allow applications to export a menu into the Unity Menu bar. Based on KSNI it 
also works in KDE and will fallback to generic Systray support if none of those are 
available."


Seems to be a subpackage of libappindicator in some other distros -
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/libappindicator/libappindicator-gtk3/[1]
and lumped all into the package in ubuntu.  I can remove it without warnings so it needs 
to be added to our defaults

Don't see why it shouldn't be.  Works nicely here on the touch screen on my  thinkpad.  
Would be ace if sddm followed the same theme plasma uses..

Not installed here and can be removed without any warning too.  Is it even a dep for 
neon?

Seems to being doing the trick no?  Coloured emojis work well over here even in konsole.

Yep.  Half the settings are in the stock samba.conf
