The "System Settings -> Power -> Show battery status in the menu bar" setting is working only when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is Unity. Changing that combobox sets icon-policy in com.canonical.indicator.power to one of these values: present, charge, never.

With these settings and relogin, the power indicator shows up in Unity just fine, but still not in Gnome Classic:
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.power icon-policy present
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active true

Any idea where to look for error messages?

I did "ps aux | grep indicator" while in Unity, with the power indicator visible, but there is no relevant process. Any idea what process is using the indicator-power library?

Thanks
