I have added support in KMix for popping up a master volume control right 
next to the speaker icon in the system tray on a single left click, and 
showing/hiding the full mixer on double click.  Right mouse button brings up 
the context menu, as it did before.

I think having the volume control close at hand like this (as windows does, 
ahem) is very useful.  I can commit to either the head branch or the 2.1 
branch if anyone is interested.  Opinions?
