I think the most compelling use case for tooltips (aside from the
battery indicator) is the music player.  I like to be able to quickly
see what's playing, without having to click on anything.  Granted, this
isn't a problem for users of Docky, which can support such tooltips for
Rhythmbox's dock icon, so maybe something along those lines would be the
best way to deal with that issue.  That doesn't help the battery
indicator situation much, though.

Furthermore, KDE application indicators have tooltips, and I don't think
they will be willing to change that, so supporting tooltips for GTK+
application indicators would help from a consistency standpoint.
