Comment 3 for bug 732682

I don't need to change the volume slider, I want to see whether I'm muted or speaking, and also have a quick way of getting back the mumble window. The latter is just a minor inconvenience, the former is very confusing if you use keys to switch between "I speak" and "muted" (as sometimes you lose track and speak while you muted and vice versa).

So, I can stare at the mumble window all the time without the indicator, it's just a lot less sensible than staring at the actual subject you are currently discussing with your peers :)
