Terrible design decision IMHO. There should be an easy way to revert to
the classic and classy way it used to work.

An alternative solution I thought of...
I went to System / Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts
I set: Sound / Launch Media Player to Ctrl+Alt+M
I can now open it with that shortcut... I can live with that :D

Rhythmbox cannot be quickly opened from Indicator Applet
I agree with those who find the new status icon very annoying.
While the new behaviour may or may not (!) be intuitive for someone who has
never used a computer before, the old approach is clearly more intelligible
even to relative novices. Confirmed by my girlfriend, my sister and a bunch of
Maybe I should offer a rationale for wanting the old behaviour back:
All the icons in my gnome-panel behave like this: right click gives a context
menu, left click pops up a window or at least some kind of dialogue.
I remember that when a new IM client was introduced (Empathy in 9.10 i think?),
I just updated to Lynx due to the update manager complaining about Koala
repos disappearing. I too am extremely irritated by the decrease in
usability in Rhythmbox. It's the first item on my list of post upgrade
fixes that I have no way to fix. I'm afraid to do another Ubuntu
upgrade. These
I just discovered the indicator applet because after weeks of annoying
behaviour of Rythmbox, it became *seriously* annoying to fill a bug and
read all the comments. I have no indicator applet. Apparently, this is
optional, and this is cool with me.
Still, until 5 minutes ago, I had in the
The problem you're experiencing with the icons not showing up in the system
notification area is because indicator-application-service is not stopped when
you remove the applet. The consequence of that is that the applications still
think they're being shown as an Application Indicator.
As soon
I haven't gotten used to it yet, one click + mouse aim (which is harder
because full UI is not the first) + click is just so incredibly
irritating. Then hiding it again is also annoying because you have to
use the cross, which is in the opposite corner. Argh.
Does anyone know whether there's some
Also to understand why this is problem, not everyone's universe consists
of songs that each lasts one track. When you play one album at a time,
you have to bring up the full UI to select a new one. As you can imagine
this happens once each hour.

Agreed, also annoyed with the new indicator applet behavior especially
considering rhythmbox is the only application on my desktop that makes
use of it.
Opening the full UI is very annoying.
Please revert :)

I'm also annoyed, although I guess one will get used to it after some
time. Another regression is that you can't see whether it's playing or
not, it was kind of neat.

I really miss the single click options on the tray icon (play/pause,
hide/show, volume control)
I used to have a additional starter (rhythmbox-client --next) which starts the
next track.
Now that the behaviour changed, you need at least two clicks for every
action.

This is really annoying. I don't have problems with the menu on left
click but can't a double click show the Rhythmbox window like in the
past. This shouldn't even break the guidelines I suppose.

Totally agree with Edward and David. Left click for opening UI, middle
click for Play/Pause, scroll wheel for volume, right click for menu were
things that I used all the time with my music player. (Actually, getting

I also agree with David's comment - as I use Rhythmbox in the same way,
needing two clicks to access the UI is annoying.

I completely agree with David. I switch back and forth between my music
collection and radios a lot and the UI is needed for that.

Thanks for taking interest in Ubuntu. One of the design goals of the
Application Indicators is to make every item in the panel behave like a
menu. Changing this would violate that design. Sorry that isn't what
you'd prefer.

Actually the new indicator-application policy adds another regression

change volume.
I use the UI for everything: look for a new album, new playlist, add
songs to play queue, switch to radio station, check the next songs, show
The other Rhythmbox functionality missing from the indicator icon is
middle-click to pause/play. I suppose this is not discoverable either,
but that doesn't seem like a good rationale for removing functionality.
I'll have to take your word on the discoverability of right-click menus

Thank you for your bug report, the purpose of the new design was to have

I have a question: Why would you like to access rhythmbox so quickly?
you can change track, play/pause quit even see which track is currently
being played from the rhythmbox indicator icon (very quickly). and also

It was really about reproducing the functionality that was available
when Rhythmbox had the icon in the notification area rather than the
indicator applet.
I keep rhythmbox running by closing rather than quitting. It then closes
while the icon remains. I was just used to the notification area
