PowerStatus shows information about battery level, so it's only useful on mobile computers. If it's not yet running, launching the applet will ask if it should open in window mode or live in the Deskbar tray. In window mode you're able to resize the icon by resizing the window and use the Replicant handle to drag it to the Desktop.
Wherever it's installed, it's operated via a right-click context menu.

Note: PowerStatus requires a working ACPI support.
