Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-10-21 17:56:17 UTC 
This bug has been described here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17473

"I used to have Gnome Volume control applet in my task bar. Recently, when I
updated my breezy : it disapeared and I can't make it appear again (when I click
add > volume control applet). The applet seems to be broken on my computer.
However, I can control my volume by typing "gnome-volume-manager" in a console
and the volume control panel appears.
...
> This bug is just weird. According to the backtrace it runs fine. Are you sure
than right clicking where you have added the applet doesn't do anything? Does
changing the icon theme fix the issue?
...
Change the icon theme fixed the issue !! :) I was using eXperience (which is not
official). But I get the same issue with :
Amaranth, crystal SVG, Gorilla,  Lush, Nuvola, Wasp."

Hi Seb,

what do you suggest I do when no icons were found? Should I load default icons
of some sort? Should I load text icons (percentages) or so instead? I can do the
coding, but would like to do the right thing...
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2005-12-17 17:39:42 UTC 
Cc-ing usability list for their opinion on it. My opinion is than using a label
with the % would be nice.
Comment 3 Calum Benson 2006-01-31 18:08:03 UTC 
In general I guess the right thing would be for the app[let] to supply and use a fallback icon of its own, in the hicolor style.  But in this case I agree the textual label + value solution could work quite well.
Comment 4 Ronald Bultje 2007-01-14 18:49:28 UTC 
I'm wondering if the 'fallback icon' isn't really a gnome-icon-theme problem... I can do the text-label thing in gnome-applet, I'd say the fallback icon is a g-i-t issue, not ours. Fortunately, Calum agrees, so that's what it'll be then.
Comment 5 Calum Benson 2008-05-02 16:36:39 UTC 
The Ubuntu bug was closed some time ago, and I can't reproduce it with any themes in 2.22 either, so I'm going to close this one out.  Feel free to re-open if you can reproduce.
