Public bug reported:

When viewing the power history graphs, the way the x-axis labels and
gridlines are shown is silly. Here are the reasons:

1. The time intervals between grid lines are silly. For example, on my graph 
right now, this interval is 22 minutes. The interval should be a multiple of 10 
minutes.'
2. The x-axis is labeled in uptimes. It should be labeled in clock times, or 
perhaps in the form "x minutes ago"
3. The x-axis labels are counted backward from the current time. Suppose for a 
moment that problems 1 and 2 were fixed; that the grid interval is 20 minutes; 
and that the current time is 6:43. Then the x-axis labels would be, in reverse 
order, 6:43, 6:23, 6:03, 5:43, etc. This is unhelpful. The correct behavior 
would be to clamp the grid labels to multiples of the time interval mentioned 
in 1. So the grid labels should be 6:40, 6:20, 6:00, 5:40, etc., and the last 
grid line should *not* line up with the right-hand side of the graph, since we 
are 3 minutes past 6:40.
