disalbes application indicators and brings back tooltips and percentage Edit (421 bytes, text/plain)

I solved the issue by building a costumized version of the source package.
In the relevant code parts, there are switches like #ifdef HAVE_APP_INDICATOR. The tooltip is disabled if this macro is set and the percentage values are not shown. This was introduced by a patch that adds support for application indicators (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/497870). AFAIK this should be a replacement for the notification area applet. But it seems we don't have it in lucid. gpm uses an ordinary tray icon.

I'm not sure how to submit my patch cleanly.
So I'll try it like this.
Apply it to the source package.

The first disalbes application indicators in debian/rules.
The second compacts the display of time from %i hours %i minutes to just hh:mm.
