I find tooltips annoying, because there is no control over them (just
delay), and when they appear they often obscure the very thing that
you're trying to interact with. This helps the notification area feel
less cluttered unlike the old version.
However, much less information is accessible since they've gone.
Possible solutions:
* Integrate _all_ information that tooltips used to show into the menus.
* Bring back tooltips but only show them when a chosen modifier key is pressed.
(And /not/ right under the pointer!)
If this sounds like it will bring back clutter, then add options. I'd
like an option to see the charge percentage and volume percentage.
I wouldn't be surprised if the removal of tooltips was intended, so I'm
renaming this bug.
