Hello,
(sorry in advance for not using the proper names for the elements I'm going to try to discribe)
I am a big user of the wheel on the KMix tray icon to change the volume. With KDE4.4, the box that indicates the volume level (that appears if you leave your mouse on the KMix tray icon for a second or so) disappears after a while, leaving you with no visual feedback on the volume changes (unless you move the cursor away from the icon, and back on it again). It's not a big annoyance, but still ...

Wouldn't it be possible to have the OSD volume level feedback, whatever the way one is changing the volume ?

The part about displaying the volume OSD is a good one, but please file the part about the popup disappearing with bugs.kde.org since I think that is definitely a bug.

Not in my desktop... kmix 4.4.2-1 as reported by pacman (Arch)
It does not close the popup while switching volume for me. So this is probably Ubuntu specific.
I've never used the mouse wheel thingy until now. But it works nicely anyway.

The OSD part could be nice (But the popup is more than enough as you have to look at the screen corner -not the center of the screen- in order to set the volume anyway)

What do you think?

I use opensuse and have the same problem, so it is not ubuntu-specific.

I am glad my beloved OpenSUSE wasn't ready for ext4 when I stumbled towards Arch then

Do you have the same Kmix/KDE version I do?
What I wonder is if it isn't already solved [...]

BTW:// My Qt version is 4.6.2 (Could be that?)

This discussion is probably better to have in the bug report.
