It would be possible to show a number next to the level, but since the
applet is targeted at a wider audience it shouldn't be done by default.
IMHO the difference between 50% and 55% actually doesn't mean anything
in WiFi since signal conditions change so often and driver reporting
granularity isn't near as fine as 0 - 100%.

But anyway, an option to toggle that via GSettings would be OK in my
opinion, if anyone wanted to do that patch.
