Jon, have you read comment 12 by Matthew Paul Thomas ? he wrote those design specs.

Yes, I have read comment 7 too, but dropping the "(estimating...)" is not the right option here.

Clearly it should *not* be taking so long to estimate whether the battery is charging or discharging.
And if we do not show it, we are hiding a bug in either the battery or gnome-power-manager there.

One alternative could be displaying it as "( -- : -- )" instead of "(estimating...)" , but i'm not sure it is any better.

mpt, thoughts?
