Bug#731419: gnome-applets: mixer_applet2 ignores the mouse wheel (regression)

[Francois Gouget]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 3.4.1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It used to be possible to change the volume simply by placing the mouse 
pointer over the mixer_applet2 icon and rotating the mouse wheel. That 
made it easy to adjust the volume with minimal disruption.

Since the upgrade of GNOME from 3.6 to 3.8 this is no longer possible. 
Now it's necessary to click, scroll the cursor, and then click again to 
restore the focus to the application one was using and close the applet 
window. Yuck!
