i like ;) personally i would prefer a little dynamic volume meter for a
Windicator, that's more *informative* and would complement the panel menu's
rather *interactive* design.
To duplicate the indicator sound in say Rhythmboxes' Windicators doesn't

size-consistent with the window controls, because they are essentially
different in what they semantically are and do.
