[Bug 439783] Re: Regression: devicekit-power does not display remaining battery time

Also seeing this on my Dell Mini 9 after upgrading, and seems like a
dupe of #444881.

I just wanted to add that the powertop utility *does* give an ACPI power
usage "time remaining" estimate, though it takes a while to get it so I
would guess it is simply calculating the discharge rate manually.
Gnome-power-manager should definitely fall back to this behaviour.  All
the information is right there in the power history, and it is trivial
to calculate--I've got an almost perfectly straight line there, losing
approx 7% every 12 minutes.  Even this crude estimate would be better
than nothing!
