  On my current laptop, the battery indicator shows a red-with-a-little-
  left icon when there is more than an hour left in the battery, which is
  not really appropriate for a "critical battery warning".
  
  This bug is probably a regression of #743823, and I was asked to create a new bug by @mpt:
  > Christoph, yes, please report a new bug including a screenshot. On phones we may have to color by percentage, but on PCs we can and should color by time remaining to avoid false alarms.
  
  A screenshot is attached. Unfortunately I didn't realize at the time
  that the screenshotter does not record open menus, so you'll have to
  take my word that the time remaining in the indicator menu was at > 1
  hour. I can redo the screenshot, if necessary.
  
- fwiw, the transition levels (based on minutes left) proposed in the bug
- description of #743823 sound good to me.
