@om26er,
As an interesting experiment, would you be able to ask your neighbour in a
friendly manner if they miss any of information in the tooltips?
Just because they haven't mentioned it yet, doesn't mean it doesn't
bother them. Perhaps they are prioritising the 'other problems' you
mentioned
Please bring back tool-tips asap :)
It's never too late! (indicator-applet update?)
I agree with all posts above, removing tool-tips in the Indicator applet
is a pain and introduces many more inconsistencies as mentioned above
(there are tool-tips on everything else - including 'Applications').
I don't have a monopoly on right - you do. Were there any bugs
similar to this one before Lucid with the opposite goal - remove
tooltips? I think not :)
I can't claim to know absolute truth on the matter - that's no excuse
for poor design choices, especially given the feedback from the
community
I can see from Mark's view that there needs to be an alternative to
tooltips on tablets. However, at the moment such devices are 'toys'.
In comparison to traditional laptops/desktops they are not as good for
getting work done (depending on the work). This will probably change as
they mature
That also may explain the spacing in the indicator applets (room for
finger touch).
I guess we have to be happy with alternative applets - for
upload/download speeds you can use netspeed applet. There are also
alternative battery applets out there, and the gnome-volume-control-
applet provides
#124: Thanks for the link, but I don't think the owner of that blog is
active in that post anymore :/
Shameless plug: You can find a battery panel applet (with tool-tips!)

The key issues related to the original request have not been addressed
yet:
1. Tooltips provide novice users a way of identifying things. Not
everyone will be able to identify the icon for _every_ application that
uses the Indicator applet - the mockup on Mark Shuttleworth's homepage
is a good
Getting the same as described above on Firefox 3.5.7, causing the system
[P8700 @ 2.53 GHz 2gb ram] to almost come to a standstill. Googled the
problem and this was the first result, so it may be good to reopen this
bug.

My momdad have a lot of troubles to understand difference between
left click, right click double click. When I guide them over the
phone to fix something i always tell them the OTHER click to get
their attention to do right click.
You will now have to describe the icon to click on
Another quote from Gnome Usability Study:
( http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/ut1_report.pdf )
Two participants missed the ability to click on the GNOME foot icon, one
because there was no tooltip when he
moused over it and another because he missed the small arrow indicating the
foot was
And what is with the faulty design guidelines:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomStatusMenuDesignGuidelines#What%20about%20tooltips?
The first sentence is incorrect: Like other menus, status menus do not
have tooltips.
...other menus in Gnome Panel do not have tooltips? Hmm... could have
fooled
Perhaps the design guidelines could go along the lines of:
Menus with text don't need tooltips.
Menus with icons need tooltips.
This is the behaviour of clickable 'things' in applications which are
represented by either text or icons.
(It might be helpful to assume that novice users don't
