How do I add/remove an entry in the Indicator Applet in Gnome?

How do I add/remove an entry in the Indicator Applet in Gnome? I can't seem to find a guide or reference on how to configure the 'indicator-applet' (aka MessagingMenu) that came about in the 9.04 release of Ubuntu. It's that little mail icon that lists messaging apps.

"According to dirs.h, there can be a directory indicators/messages/applications-blacklist, which will be treated as a subdirectory of your user config directory ($HOME/.config by default).

I don't think this directory would be created by default, but you can create it yourself. It looks like you'd need to restart the indicator service (log out/log in) after creating that directory.

Each file there will be loaded to read a path to a .desktop file. So I guess you can put a text file with the full path to the launcher of the application you want to ignore in there.

I believe these paths should come from /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications."
