With apologies to Tom Jaeger, I'm marking this as a duplicate of a newer
bug report that has much more detailed discussion of the merits and
drawbacks of showing the percentage.

Menu Bar - Battery meter design needs to make both percentage and time
statistics easily accessible.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Ever since the gnome-power-manager icon transition from the
notification area to the indicator applet it is unnecessary
complicated to find out what the current battery charge percentage is.
We used to be able to just hover over the icon, but now we have to
actually open g-p-m, select the 'Laptop Battery' category, and then
scroll down in the 'Details' tab. The remaining time estimate is not
an adequate replacement for this information, as it is inaccurate and
depends on current battery consumption.
I propose that the g-p-m menu include this information whenever the
percentage is not 100%. So what currently reads "Laptop battery 1
hour 50 minutes left" should be "Laptop battery 1 hour 50 minutes left
(38.4%)". I'll be happy to supply a patch if that's what it takes,
but I'm not currently familiar with the g-p-m source.
