Comment 6 for bug 811769

I expect that key to migrate to g-s-d like most power settings have.

Ubuntu for over 5 years has hidden that icon by default, which is as long as I've been using Ubuntu, so I'm rather attached to that functionality. If my battery is fully charged & plugged in then I don't want to see an icon. I am trained now that seeing a battery icon is a subtle warning that I am on battery power or waiting for my computer to finish charging.

It's one thing to change a default (which I think should be a separate discussion) but it's another to change the default and completely remove any way to get the olddefault back. The specification does say that this should be an option, possibly through System Settings, or perhaps via gsettings/dconf-editor.

By the way, does this menu /always/ show up, even on desktop computers without battery peripherals?
