Media buttons inconsistent with system-wide button behavior

[Vish]

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

This is a followup to Bug #624610 .

Steps to reproduce:
1 : Press media-button in sound menu [press and hold, dont release]
 - Notice the button appears pressed.
2 : While maintaining the press , Move mouse away from the button
 - Still initial button appears pressed.
3 : Move mouse over the other media buttons
 - No hover over the new button[button does not react], while the initial button still appears pressed.
4 : Release the button over any of the other media buttons
 - Action for the button over which the release occurred is triggered.

This is inconsistent with button behaviour system-wide, where release outside the button will trigger *no* action.

This seems to be a common behaviour throughout the indicator-menu and gtk-menus systemwide
> Press one menu item > Release over the next menu item, *that* second menu item's action is triggered.
*But* for the menu items, the next menu item does get highlighted, so the user knows that the new menu item is active now.

There are two problems here, we create the media "buttons" and not menu items here:
The best fix for this is to maintain system-wide behaviour and to /not/ trigger action over the other items.

Or, a last resort that could be done is to make the media buttons state /not/ be pressed always when the mouse moves away,
and to make the "press" for the new media button.

Connor mentioned he would look into this for Natty

Thanks for the detailed report. I do intend to look at this in the coming cycle. The edge detection needs to be improved. Not to mention the ability to control the buttons from the keyboard and mouse hover visual cue.
