Comment 16 for bug 519553

Hi!

Since I have upgraded to Lucid, one of the most annoying problems is the indicator applet behaviour. Is of my understanding that you/we are changing from the previous RedHat's notification area applet to Canonical's one, which will bring some problems during the transition.

Anyway, actions that before cost only one click, now costs several clicks with the new indicator (as stated in https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-applet/+bug/550809). For instance, Rythmnbox is affected or, even WORST, "files dialog" (like moving files) can NO longer be hidden to the tray. Moreover, its dialog is clearly confusing as pointed by Dylan McCall.

So, I do suggest:

left click --> show/hide window (to the the tray) and/or regular action
right click --> application menu

Optionally:

double left click --> only show/hide window (to the the tray)
left click --> only regular action
middle wheel --> extra functionallity (volume control on volume app or rythmnbox app, browse calendar)

The "context menu" of the indicator applet itself should be moved to the separation bar and it should contain an option dialog.

Thank you for your effort.
