Bug Description

indicator-power 0.6-0ubuntu2, lightdm 0.9.3-0ubuntu5, Ubuntu Ocelot

1. Open the battery menu. (If bug 830175 hasn't been fixed, it's in the gap to the left of the clock menu.)
2. Choose "Power Settings...".
3. Choose "All Settings".

What happens:
2. The item is present.
3. You have access to all the system settings, and the ability to do all kinds of stuff. (As far as I could tell, the only thing preventing me from setting up a new admin account was my inability to focus the text fields for entering its login name.)

What should happen:
2. The "Power Settings" item should not be present.

I didn't realize the battery menu was going to be shown at the login screen, though I guess it makes sense. I've updated the specification to cover what the menu should contain in that situation. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#login-screen>

Changed in indicator-power (Ubuntu):
