Are you referring to the out-of date Gnome HIG which hasn't been
revamped for Gnome3 yet?

The HIG is good but remember it is Guidelines not a Law.

> Right click => menu
> Left click => show/hide main app
> Double click => default action (like play/pause for example)
> Tooltips.

My mom&dad have a lot of troubles to understand difference between
left click, right click & double click. When I guide them over the
phone to fix something i always tell them "the OTHER click" to get
their attention to do right click.

Also my mom does double-click on everything "to make sure it always
works" cause she doesn't understand that on the desktop icons she
needs to double click, in the web single click, in skype mostly single
click, but to call in skype double click.

It is confusing.

About tooltips - they cover information. And it's hard to see which
item exatly tooltip belongs to. and tooltips cover other icons as well
making you miss information again!

It has been marked as "won't fix" so please stop suggesting readding
tooltips or providing solutions which go against current AppIndicator
spec.

Currently we are trying to identify missing information, whether it is
important and how to represent it in the new desktop design.
