Bug Description
Summary says it all. Yesterday, I had an "Always display icon" option, which gave me a nice "plug" icon when I pulled out my batter. Now, I have "always display when battery present", so when I pull the battery, I just get no icon at all.
As discussed on IRC, this was probably in the name of "doing the right thing for desktop users", but my argument is that desktop users would never have "always display icon" checked at all, and if they DID, it's cause they want to see the plug icon, for whatever strange reason.

I've just confirmed this behaviour with my laptop. This does indeed suck.
Either we should add a 'always with battery' option inbetween charge and always, or we should add a 'really always goddamnit' option after 'always' or we should revert the meaning of 'always'
Richard: Does this have something to do with the desktop case?
