I have another idea. I think if we had two different icons for the 
notification area (currently the music note icon) that would make both 
the newbie and experienced user's life easy.  I mean have different icon 
for when the rb window is showed and when its hidden. This should make 
it easy for somebody to see that left clicking on the icon changes the 
state.
Even if you decide to pop-up the rb menu on lft click, it still will be 
useful to have a slightly changed icons for the 2 states.
