I know that. It's still a bug, and your claim that Karl is
hallucinating is still incorrect. And gnome-volume-manager is obviously
not gnome-volume-control (though Karl still seems confused on that
point). There is no package called gnome-volume-control, but there is a
program called gnome-volume-control and it's in the package gnome-media.
And nothing in my message or the message I replied to made any reference
whatsoever to gnome-volume-manager.
