Hi Mark,
Having appropriate-easily-recognizable icon instead of a tooltip to explain it 
, is good.
But, the problem here is not that we dont understand what the icon is, rather 
that we are loosing other information that was being displayed quicker/easily.

As mentioned earlier in comment#5 , there isnt a way to display volume
150% in the volume indicator other than adding a new item apart from the
volume slider. [if we add the tooltip as an item, it would be
unnecessary when the volume is less than 100%, slider is sufficient
there.]

RB indicator has lost the playing song position and the album ,bringing all 
this info to the indicator maybe a little too much in the drop down indicator, 
but it is an information that was easily presented earlier but many will [or I 
will] miss now.
Already the RB indicator menu changes size too often depending on the 
artists/song title, this erratic behavior can be avoided if we move the song 
info to tooltips.

As was the transmission torrent speeds,and other info ...

To reduce tooltips ugliness , we could make them predictable and do >

Less is more for sure. But how little do we want? ;-)
