bug#39203: GNOME desktop is not displaying battery status

[Jesse Gibbons]

Update:
Some testing reveals this bug was introduced somewhere between
10576acbbf496a051d488c2832f1e474ef6074f3 and
d75a0cd98649c610c8c6ed05011233a49af156e9

I'm going to continue looking for the exact commit. I'll report when I
find it. I have some suspicions, but it's better to know for certain.

What is the protocol for undoing a commit that breaks something?
