Use 12 vertical lines in the battery graph instead of 10

[Gerhard Großmann]

If you click on the battery icon in the status area and choose “Battery” you can open a diagram about the charge state of your laptop battery (gnome-power-statistics). The diagram’s y-axis is divided from 0% to 100% in steps of 10%. That’s fine. But the x-axis is divided into ten parts, resulting in odd time values.

For example if you look up the battery graph for the last 6 hours you get the following steps: 6h, 5h24min, 4h48min, 4h12min, 3h36min, 3h, 2h24min, … the diagram for the last 24h shows the steps: 1d, 21h36min, 19h12min, …

If you would divide the x-axis into 12 parts instead of 10, for the last 6 hours you would get: 6h, 5h30min, 5h, 4h30min, 4h, 4h30min, … and for the last 24 hour the steps would be: 24h, 22h, 20h, … That’s easier to understand than the odd in-between values that are shown at the moment.

Of course, the values for the 7-days-period would still be a little odd: 7d, 6d10h, 5d20h, 5d06h, … but not worse than now: 7d, 6d07h, 5d14h, 4d21h, 4d04h.

I use Precise Pangoline and the gnome-power-manager version 3.4.0-0ubuntu1.1
