[Bug 670771] Re: battery indicator icon ignores gconf setting "/apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy"

 

apport information

** Description changed:

  Battery icon in new ubuntu indicators does not honour gconf setting
  "/apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy".
  
  My netbook battery lasts about 8hrs in normal use, so, even with low
  charge percentage I have plenty of working time left.
  
  However, the battery icon switches to "low" icon (black frame with red
  bar) when I still have about 1:50 hrs time left. I would not consider
  1:50 hrs left a low battery status, but this "red" bar sitting there in
  the corner makes me constantly worried about battery charge left, it is
  very distracting.
  
  To remedy this, battery icon indicator should honour the above gconf
  setting and switch to "low" display only when the time configured for
  power-manager in gconf is reached (1200 sec by default). This way it
  would go red only when left working time "really" is low (20 min).
  
  regards
  sven
