Okay, I guess this is fixed with Gnome Panel 3 in Oneiric. We don't
actually have the indicator applet ported to Panel 3, but if it _was_,
the gnome-panel only shows editing options for an applet in its
Alt+Right click menu, after unlocking its panel.

As much as I'd like to kill the right click menu, it's needed to move
the applet. Which unfortunately sucks. I think this is a failing in
the positioning code with gnome-panel, but it leads to us needing to

Hi Ted,
With regards to killing the right click menu (and that whole “applets are
constantly at risk of being moved” concept), I have a feature request upstream:

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

Thank you for your effort.

Does the closing of this bug mean that this won't be fixed until the
next Ubuntu release? Note that at Apple this bug would be considered a
total show-stopper. User can delete volume control icon and never get
it back.

This is the sort of severe and *OBVIOUS* usability issue that just kills
Linux in the consumer space. I just installed 10.04 on a test system,

Perhaps a short-term solution to you John would be to start gnome-
volume-control-applet at startup. It has a mismatched icon, but does the
job.

in the long term, the solution that seems obvious to me is that the menu
entry should do what all of these users seem to be assuming it would
do... remove that particular indicator from the indicator applet. at the
moment, there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.

In my opinion, The simplest approach to this seems to be:
1. Add a handle to the Indicator applet
2. Add a Close Indicator Applet right click menu entry that only shows up if
you right click on the handle.
3. Remove the general Remove from panel right click menu entry.
It may not be 100%
For a much less intrusive solution, wouldn't it be more prudent to just
remove the Remove from panel menu entry?

With beta 1, I am seeing a lot of discussions that highlight this issue,
where people have lost their indicator applet or are looking to remove
specific indicators from the panel. (A mindset that could lead straight

I would suggest making the right-click menu for the indicator applet
have a label. Put a grayed-out entry at the top of the menu that says
GNOME Indicator Bar or GNOME Indicator Applet, or just Indicator
Applet.
