Wow, someone who did exactly what I was doing!  Though, I think that
redhat bug should really be a request to bring back the volume applet
so that it can be placed anywhere.  Requesting it go in the upper
right is too specific.  Being able to reorder notification icons or
ordering them more predictably would be helpful, but in this case I'd
still prefer an applet.  No reason not to have both, right?

Thanks,
Reid
