As I've started to look through various usability things on the Ubuntu Desktop I came across the pop-up menu for the mixer applet (pictured right). You can see that two of the menu items have accelerators, but how do you use those? The panel doesn't receive these events. It makes me laugh to think about how much time we talk about adding accelerators and here the effort was made -- but there's no way to use them.
Chances are that this hasn't caused you usability stress in your daily operations. Now that I've mentioned it, I'm sure it will <smile>. But, I've gone ahead and thrown together a small patch to fix it and put an updated package in my PPA in case it bugs you that much.
Overall, I still find this funny.
