ICS Paper Cuts

  1. I can’t figure out what the X button is for on the Music notification. Sure, it closes it and stops the music, but so does a sideways swipe on the notification. Why is there an extra button here, when the standard method works just fine?

    Update: Apparently you cannot swipe the music notification off, so the X is required. But why should you not be able to swipe it off? I don’t see the benefit in having a separate UI for this one type of notification. And, of course, the pause button does the same thing as the X: stop the music and dismiss the notification.
