Comment 18 for bug 256478

Not quite, see the Indicator applet is forced upon those of use that want a volume icon regardless of whether we want the mail icon or it's other bits. As such it's either use the default or have forced bloat in terms of the systray/notification area. If there's a way to do away with the indicator applet yet still have the previous functionality in terms of volume control and bluetooth, I'll happily do so and leave this report in peace.
