I am not sure that they would like the icons, as they're notification-* icons that afaik only exist in Ubuntu's Human theme right now. Replacing the current icons isn't possible either as these are specially designed for notifications (ie. color only for icons meant to be used in critical notifications, otherwise grey-scale, and not designed for use in a panel at all).

For the text comprehensibility in case of a lack of icon, every case should be ok except maybe the trigger of XF86Power while plugged, since one would not know how filled his/her battery is at the moment, only how long till it is full. Is it possible to easily detect the presence of an icon ? If they are absent, maybe g-p-m could be (a little) more verbose in some cases. If this isn't possible, the only other option would be to add a setting for more verbose notifications (which I think is not great), or make them more verbose by default (which I think isn't very great either).

I really don't know anyone in upstream GNOME, and they might be more receptive to someone they already know. ;)
