What Oliver said. :-(

If I must use GNOME I use tools like Extend Panel Menu:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1201/extend-panel-menu/

... to give me more functional volume/system/etc. controls.

I wrote about this and some other tools I find useful here:

Unfortunately, the developers of GNOME are attempting to simplify it
by _removing_ features. I think this is a doomed, futile approach:
