Gnome power preferences provides a notify area icon, and lets you adjust the power managment settings used my gnome-power-manager. run:
- gnome-power-preferences

xfce4-power-manager appears to require fewer dependencies than gnome-power-manager.

Both the Gnome and the Xfce4 place icons in the notify area - this will hopefully work in most or all panels, including tint2 and LXPanel.
