Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-sound
In LP#725160 and LP#725167 I reported inconsistent wheel direction issues for particular sliders, but now I realized there is a wider issue and thought a separate report is in order. I see the following behavior on up-to-date Natty:
Indicator and indicator menu:
Forward (away from me): increase volume
Backward (toward me): decrease volume
K3b (only KDE app I have installed) is the same. I tried menu Settings -> Configure K3b -> Plugins -> K3b Ogg Vorbis encoder -> Quality level
However other sliders use "Forward (away from me)" to DEcrease, and "Backward (toward me)" to INcrease whatever value:
gnome-power-
gnome-screensaver: time to idle
tracker-
gnome-window-
Gimp: all filter sliders I tried
And so forth
It seems that sound indicator is the odd one out, which is why I filed it here. However, to me the sound indicator behavior seems more intuitive and so I guess the bug may be elsewhere. K3b behaving the same as sound indicator may be a sign for that.
In case it matters, I use a Logitech Cordless TrackMan on an Apple MacBook Pro 5.34 the trackpad scrolling of which works exactly as the wheel.

Sorry, can I edit the subject line? There's a typo, "insonsistent" -> "inConsistent"
