No "remaining time" option in battery monitor?

[Shaun Reich]

ew, why would it need to be a config option anyways? don't see the
point in that. it should just be on mouseover an icon switch and/or
tooltip. iirc this was exactly what some non-merged applet did. I
believe sebas was the one who made that one as well (which worked
well, i might add).

okay, it just didn't seem that way from the mails i followed on the
marco-provided link.
