I think some form of icon hover state (perhaps saturating, lightening, or changing the background glow graphic) would be in order. Did the design team specifically vote against this, or has it just never come up? Highlighting controls when hovered is so common in computing (and indeed, in Ubuntu) that its lack here seems puzzling.
