kmix: mute on double-click

Muting should be faster accessible. Since double-click on kmix in the systray has no function, yet, this would be an option.

Clicking on the KMix icon has the result of opening the master mixer which has a "Mute" checkbox on it. I fail to see how this is not easily accessible.

You can also set a default shortcut also, which would make it even faster.

Following the usual HIG...
How would this be discoverable by the user?

Can't you already do this by middleclicking it?

I would expect the double-click to open a window with all the volume controls.

I'd expect any application to open a window on a double-click command.

Middle click does it, so I don't think double click needs to.

Thank you for your comments. The double-click for muting is the Gnome-way, that's why I thought about it. I didn't know that middle click is doing the trick and I also agree with renrutal after thinking about it - yes, I'd also expect the detailed mixer on a double-click.

What about settings:
Mute on $dropdown menu: middle click or double click

As a laptop user, I don't have a middle button to click, interesting...

Enable the Emulate3Buttons xorg option.

This is on by default in most distros that I've tried...

On a laptop you have a dedeicated mute button, on desktops, you have middle clicking the kmix.

(if you dont have a mute button, get a better laptop.)

It was much better if double clicking opened the kmix window. Currently you have to click on the speaker icon, wait for the volume slider to appear, move your mouse to “Mixer” and click.
