Comment 15 for bug 1728045

The old batt-stat applet used to allow the user to show on the battery icon a more accurate representation of battery life remaining, either in percentage or estimated time remaining.

This functionality should also be configurable, if not the default, in gnome power manager. Just because Gnome's apparent philosophy is to be simplified for the user, does not mean we cannot expose extra configuration to more advanced users in the places where they traditionally look - the preferences.

Sorry if this is a dupe, I'm not used to Gnome's bugzilla installation.
