Comment 11 for bug 527458

- A tooltip displaying the name of currently playing song is needed for Rhythmbox application indicator (I'm glad to see disabled menu displaying current artist + song was added in the latest version but that requires a user click and displays the rest of the menu which takes some visual space)
- A tooltip displaying volume level (in dB and/or %) is needed for Volume indicator; the 3 curved lines isn't a great visual feedback for users especially while changing volume using scroll wheel
- A tooltip displaying the completion % of torrent files is needed for Transmission application indicator
- A tooltip displaying the currently connected wired/wireless network will be very practical if network-manager is ever ported to indicator-application
- ... and the list goes on, and on, and on ...

I get that part of the idea behind the indicator-application project is to revolution/improve user experience by making things different, but still. Tooltips are a well established method to provide feedback to users, why removing it? If it ain't broken, don't fix it (or in this case, don't remove it!)
