[gpm] better x axis ticks in gnome power manager

[Ivo Pletikosić <ivo pletikosic gmail com>]

Dear people of gnome power manager (especially Richard),

Every now and then, I check my battery charging data in gpm, and find one thing particularly annoying: those 10 fixed divisions of the x (time) axis. So I figured I should better do something about it, and I did.

My patch introduces a new graph setting divs_x that changes with the time range chosen in the combo box. An easy one, that I hope you'll like.

I fix a few other things that I didn't like as well:

- due to some code missing for all 5 time range options, the settings for 1 day and 1 week would be saved, but the combo box always showed the third option (6 hours) after a restart

- 10 minutes, 2 hrs, 6 hrs have become 30 minutes, 3 hrs, 8 hrs for the following reason: 10 minutes is too short, data logging happens only every 2-or-so minutes;

usual battery life seems to be something around 3 or up to 8 hours, so I thought extending these ranges would help us see the whole cycle

The latter changes will require some updates to the .po files, nothing that a few simple

sed -i 's/10 /30 /' *.po

sed -i 's/2 /3 /' *.po

sed -i 's/6 /8 /' *.po

cannot fix... in all but

as.po  bn_IN.po  bn.po  dz.po  en shaw po  fa.po  gu.po  he.po  ka.po  km.po  mai.po  si.po

from what I can see.

The patch is attached, do as you please. If you'd rather like this pushed onto github, I can do that as well.

Many thanks for a very useful little piece of software.

Best regards,

Ivo
