Re: [Muine] Fw: Debian Bug#259692: muine: Change click actions on tray icon.

[Link Dupont <link subpop net>]

Personally, I've gotten used to the way Muine behaves, (with left-click
pulling up the menu), and I like it better. The most common things you
do while Muine is playing is play/pause, next, and previous. So why pull
open the window, click, hide window again, when you could just click the
menu.

The reasoning for configuring the keys this way was to not exclude
single-button mouse users. Since those users are using inferior mice,
they can't right-click. I think that was very clever of Jorn to think of
that. I myself would have just designed it in a why that excludes the
single-button mice (simply because that's the way other apps do it).

So its tough to break the habit of left-click unhiding the window, but
after you use it, its actually better.

Cheers, Link
