For some reason this half broke in my latest update to KDE 4.4.5. Now instead of showing the remaining time on mouseover, it shows the percentage again. However, it does show the remaining time if you click on the plasmoid to display more detailed information. I wonder why it doesn't show on mouseover anymore. Is there something else in the config file that determines what's shown on mouseover?
