oops.. FUSA vs power manager indicator.. that was sloppy of me
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu
that's what i meant.

We're already showing mouse, ipod and other chargeable devices here, that's

an indicator that always shows a hardware or periphery device related symbol
such as an ipod, mouse or laptop battery..
