Hi there, im not quite sure if i understand your use case, let me recite and
translate to my understanding, if youre saying:

"now it's click, move mouse,
click, mouve mouse, click."

You mean:

Click on Indicator to open it
Move Mouse to "Show Rhythmbox"
Click "Show Rhythmbox"
Move Mouse to a Song or Button
Click the designated target

Did i get that right?

Have you been reading about this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu  ?? The
plan is to get Rhythmbox show inline with the SoundApplet,maybe that`ll calm
your concerns..
