Comment 9 for bug 550809

I agree the new indicator applet's usability is way down from before.

Issues:
1. Multiple clicks to get show IM buddies, rhythmbox
2. Batter *must have* percentage. Why? No way to tell if I want to unplug my laptop, how much battery I have left. Only saying "1hr remaining until charged" does not tell me if I have enough battery to take my laptop to the john with me or not.

The HIG specifically states that panel applications should be shown/hidden with a single click. Most apps have respected this behavior for a long time.

Other semi related issue:

Empathy buddies window is dismissable with esc (which seems ok but strange) however chats are not! WTF?

Anyway, please make changes where the changes are bringing new and useful functionality, don't make changes just to be new and cool.

Thanks, seriously because there is really good new functionality but I think you guys need to roll the UI decisions regarding this new indicator applet back to the old UI.

One question, why oh why was using the notification applet for these things not good enough?
