Comment 24 for bug 629257

I have just revised the battery status menu specification. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu?action=diff&rev2=10&rev1=9>

One common complaint I tackled was that the menu items were annoyingly long. For example, I have shortened "Battery 0:20 until charged" to "Battery (0:20 to charge)". Meanwhile, I specified an option to show the time estimate in the menu title as well.

For those two reasons, I would rather not change "Battery (estimating…)" to "Battery (estimating time…)", if we can avoid it. It's longer, especially in a menu title.

"(estimating...)" should appear for only a few minutes. If for some reason bug 629258 cannot be fixed, so it would unavoidably appear for longer than a few minutes, then please reopen this bug and we'll tackle it some other way.
