System indicators treated as a single item

Created attachment 230064 [details] Lock screen system indicators This is on Fedora 18 beta plus updates. As you can see in the attached screenshot, there are two system indicators in this lock screen: volume and network. Clicking either icon reveals the volume menu, though, and as you can see by the underlining it stretches all the way to the edge. I'm also left wondering if there's actually supposed to be more items here that are somehow lost (accessibility?).
Created attachment 230065 [details] Unlock screen system indicators On the unlocking screen, the accessibility indicator is present and treated as its own item, but volume and network are still treated as a single item together.
If I were to guess, I'd say that the rightmost item is treated as special due to normally being the user menu, and that the user menu normally holds two items (online status and user name), and that this is why the two rightmost items (volume and network) behave this way and why the accessibility icon works normally.
(In reply to comment #2) > If I were to guess, I'd say that the rightmost item is treated as special due > to normally being the user menu Nope, what you are seeing is the intended behavior. The idea behind the combined icon is that information like battery level or network connection status is still useful in the locked state, but the corresponding menus are not - see bug 682540 for the full rationale.
