Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2005-05-08 20:29:39 UTC 
often when the battery is charging the time remaining is unknown and the applet
shows "-:--".

it might be useful to revert back to showing the battery percentage instead (if
we know it).  see bug #166953 request #4.

a patch that's actually for this bug

fall back to displaying %age instead of "-:--" when time is unknown.

People will get confused if their setting constantly changes. I don't think we
want this.
Comment 5 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2005-05-10 05:43:29 UTC 
being more of a "it might be useful..." sort of bug report, I have no strong
convictions either way.

closing WONTFIX.
