As I said months ago when this discussion was up, I think that battstat-applet icon is far more informative at one glace than gnome-power-manager icon. Last time I checked at least.
I think the problem is that the icon has this grey border, like a glass border or something... In any case, a good idea would be to abuse a little more the colors. Also, right now the tray is already over abused and I would be against having to put yet another thing there. In a classic panel setup this doesn't sound evil but in more customized layouts the story can be different. Greetings! PD: kudos for the birthday of g-p-m!.
