Totally agree with Edward and David. Left click for opening UI, middle click for Play/Pause, scroll wheel for volume, right click for menu were things that I used all the time with my music player. (Actually, getting the menu was the thing I used the least and now it's the only one that you can do). I don't understand how they are not discoverable and they're very useful and quite intuitive after you find them out. I've really missed that functionality when being on Windows XP and now suddenly Ubuntu does that worse than Windows did? In Windows XP, I can at least open Winamp with one click in the tray.

Talking about discoverability: I tried to remove the mail icon from the panel by right clicking on it and selecting "remove from panel". Afterwards I started wondering why I couldn't find my music player tray icon anywhere even though music was still playing. It took me a while to find that one out. Will the beginner user that just wanted to remove the mail icon find out that he just removed something called "Indicator Applet" and that's why his music player icon can't be found anywhere?

Otherwise, Lucid is great. (Which is why I care about this, I like using Ubuntu and this is something that affects me a dozen times a day.)
