Ha! I just discovered this bug report and now I know why I have been
losing tool-tips on indicator applets over the past few versions.  The
decision(s) to remove or drastically change functionality like this
[without giving the user an adequate and easy way  to get the
functionality back] are going to ruin Ubuntu. The is the 2nd major
horrible design decision in this release that I am aware of to date.
The other being the overlay scroll bars and no convenient way to revert
to classical scroll bars that have been around for what, freaking ever?
And  It's ironic that the same class of annoyances that drove one away
from Windows and to Ubuntu, would also wind up driving one away from
Ubuntu.  I just realized that I have been using, praising, installing
and recommending Ubuntu for about 5 years; and I hope this doesn't
change but it may soon.

I'm not going to repeat any arguments for the tooltips since in my
opinion they are already well supported by many earlier in this thread
and yet even though they seem to me to outweigh and outnumber all the
arguments against tooltips, they are essentially ignored and displaced
with an illegitimate oligarchical design decision based on a utopian
ideal.

This thread is the epitome of ridiculousness.  That it should take
nearly 200 hundred comments to try and get back a feature that never
should have been removed to begin with.  I'm saving a copy of it because
I think it makes a great development anti-pattern.
