Saying you don't need a tooltip because it is a menu is like saying you shouldn't get a speeding ticket because you were wearing a clown outfit while going 90mph in a school zone (actually a really good analogy) Look, I see now the fundamental issue is this nonsense with making these things

Please see (and follow) the HIG: Are you referring to the out-of date Gnome HIG which hasn't been revamped for Gnome3 yet? The HIG is good but remember it is Guidelines not a Law. Right click = menu Left click = show/hide main app Double click = default action (like play/pause for example)

Dmitrijs, your screen shot is clearly a good example of badly tuned tooltips. On my system they do not cover the other indicator icons because I have them on the top panel and they are correctly set to pop-up below the panel. This way they do not block your ability to see any of the other
