Gnome power manager and remaining battery time.

[Jóhann B. Guðmundsson]

Looks like Gnome power manager no longer gives the end user the 
remaining time of the laptop battery but instead only gives him % of usage.

Bug or a feature?

Incorrect. It still shows time remaining - as long as it can make a
reasonable guess. Works fine for me:

There are various reasons it might be unable to make a guess on your
system at the moment. Sometimes it takes a little while for g-p-m to
gather enough data to guess. Is this a freshly-installed system?

Freshly install sometime before F14 Beta :) That's running on .36 kernel

I'll try to figure the cause for this and report it to bugzilla
