Vladimir, thanks for this report. It's true that "Estimating..." is
quite long. (Though it's not the longest thing that can appear in an
indicator menu title: that honor belongs to your login name.)

It's important that we show something more than just the icon, for
people who are expecting to see an estimate there. Otherwise they might
think they've turned off the estimate by accident.

Once bug 1234458 is fixed, the "Estimating..." string will be present
for 30 seconds maximum. I think that's brief enough to put up with it.

And conversely, if we used a special-purpose icon instead, it wouldn't
be visible for long enough for people to become familiar with it.

For those reasons, I'm declining this suggestion.

Title:
  “Estimating…” in indicator’s title is too long

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If "Show Time in Menu Bar" activated in power indicator it's sometimes
  shows strings in indicator such as "estimating...". Such strings
  occupies quite a lot of space in comparison to other icons in
  indicator bar and looks ugly.

  I suggest to replace such strings with icons or doesn't show at all.
