Title:
  Time to charge may be hard to distinguish from time to discharge

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in The Power Indicator:
  Confirmed
Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  indicator-power 0.5-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Ocelot

  1. From the battery menu, turn on "Show Time in Menu Bar".
  2. Unplug AC power.
  3. Reconnect AC power.

  What happens: The time left to use, and time left to charge, are shown
  in exactly the same way.

  If this is bad, it is a design mistake on my part.
  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Battery_menu>

  Possible solutions:

  a. Do nothing -- rely on the icon to convey the difference between charging and discharging.
      - Pro: Status quo, requires no work.
      - Con: The text may lead people to think they do not need to look at the icon.

  b. Show time left to use without brackets, time left to charge with brackets.
      - Pro: Correctly implies that time left to charge is not as important.
      - Con: Whenever there's nothing between the battery and clock menus, the two bits of text could be confused.

  c. Continue to show both in brackets, but add a minus sign for time left to charge.
      - Pro: Compact.
      - Con: Obscure.

  Any other ideas?
