[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: gnome-shell
Version: 2.29.0-3
Severity: normal

I'm using debian/testing, and the gnome-shell is from debian official apt
source.
But there is no volume icon in the right corner of the top panel.

Besides, the applications listed in the Activites are not grouped but sorted
by the
first charactor such that it is not convenient for me to quickly lock what I
want.

There is no volume icon in the right corner of the top panel in gnome
shell. The volume icon should now appear in the notification area, but
starting it is not really gnome-shell's responsibility. Do you have that
icon there?

That's true, but please report a separate wishlist bug, with multiple
issues in the same bug report, all but one are bound to be ignored. =)

See ya,

It will only happen when PulseAudio is started. I consider this a bug in
itself, since PA doesn’t work on all systems and is not suitable for
everyone.

Hey Xueqian,

this is an old bug report.

Could you please still reproduce this issue with newer gnome-shell version
like 3.4.2-7+deb7u1 or 3.8.4-5+b1 ?

thanks
regards
althaser
