Comment 158 for bug 527458

@auxbus and itsjustarumour: please share your knowledge about replacing the indicator applet!

To get back tooltips on the volume icon I added "gnome-volume-control-applet" as startup program (Gnome menu - System - Preferences - Sessions - Startup Programs). Do you know how to do this for the bluetooth icon? Or how to disable the volume icon in the new indicator applet? If you have ideas but not yet a ready-to-use recipe we could start a thread on ubuntuforums.org or similar, and link it here.

Indeed a failed experiment. Banning tooltips might be ok for touchscreen devices. I prefer tooltips but cannot go back without huge effort. I honestly hope that Canonical will find better (read "more polite") ways to introduce new features in the future. What about the right to choose? Are we soon limited to choose another distro??
