Comment 5 for bug 527458

To add to the list of items which are less usable due to not having tooltips"

 - Volume indicator: Volume icon used to have a tooltip indicating the volume level , note that the volume can be "boost" ,ie i can set the volume to 150% and this information was visible in the tooltips as "Volume output : 150%"

But this 150% can now *not* be displayed anywhere unless i open the sound preferences window and view the slider. [The slider in the app-indicator can only display the slider upto 100%]

- The current Rhythmbox song info isnt sufficient notice[screenshot attached] that only a part of the info is displayed [would be a separate bug probably] but displaying /all/ the info in the dropdown would make the item too huge which is not ideal. Note also the inconsistency in the notify-osd info and the rb app-indicator info.
And the previous rb tooltip had information about the song position too. [iirc] This can be prevented if the tooltips were used instead :-)
