Wonderful. (He said, partly sarcastically.)

On the good side, that told me what to put back, so that's great, and
many thanks!

On the other - WTF? I don't like Empathy at all & whereas Gwibber is
OK, I prefer the Yoono & Firestatus add-ons for Firefox. But adding
the indicator-applet to my left-hand panel got me back a volume
control, so overall, hey, I'm happy. :¬)

Thanks!
