Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Ever since the gnome-power-manager icon transition from the notification
area to the indicator applet it is unnecessary complicated to find out
what the current battery charge percentage is. We used to be able to
just hover over the icon, but now we have to actually open g-p-m, select
the 'Laptop Battery' category, and then scroll down in the 'Details'
tab. The remaining time estimate is not an adequate replacement for
this information, as it is inaccurate and depends on current battery
consumption.
I propose that the g-p-m menu include this information whenever the
percentage is not 100%. So what currently reads "Laptop battery 1 hour
50 minutes left" should be "Laptop battery 1 hour 50 minutes left
(38.4%)". I'll be happy to supply a patch if that's what it takes, but
I'm not currently familiar with the g-p-m source.
