Liqo Agent

Liqo Agent is a system tray daemon agent that offers the user a notification system and a simple
interface to interact with the Liqo framework.

The app_indicator package provides a graphic library to create and control all the components of the
menu interface (menu labels, icons, enable/disable options...)
