Comment 7 for bug 521309

I'm reopening this bug after bug #521046 was fixed. Standard menus support only mouse clicks, not wheel actions, breaking this basic rule makes the indicator icons special objects.

I hope we could reconsider the "no tooltip" decision, allowing them to show mode details about current status (for instance output source in sound indicator, playing song/source in rhythmbox, remaining time/percentage in power and so on), so I'm going to open a bug against ayatana project to discuss this.
