I'm interested in this, too. I couldn't get my head around what
pbuttonsd was telling me in terms of time-to-run, so I installed the
apm-emulation module and just took the end of /proc/apm which tells me
battery percentage and time-to-run in minutes.

(On a PowerBook G4 15", if that's not clear...)

On the other hand, I liked Szs under wmi, but last time I looked at it
it was for wmii hg tip, so I decided to leave it until someone packages
it all together nicely for me as a .deb, since the current setup works
sufficiently. (Although I'd like a temperature output, since my laptop
keeps overheating and dying)
