Description Bastien Nocera 2012-01-19 22:04:54 UTC 
gnome-shell-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64

Because it gets its data from gnome-settings-daemon, the power status icon seems to show instantly, showing an empty (red) battery, then gets its real data from g-s-d.

I would rather not see that red icon, and only have the icon show up when we have the data from g-s-d. It's quite distressing seeing that red icon on startup, it makes it look quite unpolished.

I've just seen the same problem with the network indicator. It had a small red emblem when logging in.
Comment 2 Giovanni Campagna 2012-04-24 21:15:50 UTC 
Does this happen on 3.4 too?
Just checked, and the power manager proxy is created synchronously.

(On 3.2, just calling "this.actor.hide()" after chaining up in _init would fix the issue)
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-10-30 23:53:51 UTC 
I tihnk I used to see this in 3.2, but not in 3.4 and newer. Bastien, Milan, have you seen it in 3.6?
