Bug Description
Hovering over an indicator-applet icon should display a relevant tooltip.
Examples:
Hovering over the volume icon should display the volume information (eg: 90% Volume)
Hovering over Rhythmbox icon should display the current track information (eg: hot chip - boy from school)
Hovering over messaging icon should display the amount of unread messages (eg: new emails - 2, new messages: 3...)
the current lack of tooltips is especially annoying when checking what song is playing in rhythmbox since it either means restoring the rhythmbox window or switching workspaces.

I strongly agree. The lack of tooltips is some kind of regression to the previous state of things. Transmission and battery icons are another example where useful information shoud be displayed in tooltips (as they were before).
