I just got a gnome-power-manager update which fixed *almost* all my issues in gnome-shell. Now I'm back to regular applet. The flickering and moving to the left each reappearance only starts when I change from battery<-->adapter in either direction. In both situations, when i click on the icon (when it's visible) and open the preferences/battery window(s), the icon remains in place and stops flickering until i switch modes again.
