Description
-------

This draft patch is for adding a Battery OSD the user can trigger using Meta+B 
any time to show the battery percentage anytime without disrupting the 
workflow. My usecase for this is when I am watching fullscreen flash videos, 
they cause quite some drain on battery, but when I want to look how much 
battery is left, I have to either leave fullscreen and peak, or (as I do) press 
some shortcut assigned to the battery widget. Both will cause the fullscreen to 
exit. Even more useful when playing a fullscreen game that you don't want (or 
can) to leave.
This adds a little OSD similar to the brightness OSD that shows the battery 
percentage when the user presses Meta+B.

This patch is draft because I first wanted to know your opinion on this before 
I start completing it (ie. showing the battery icon in the same way the battery 
widget does), atm it's the brightness icon.
