Gnome battery applet don't work with normal user account

[Sascha Petranka <sascha.petranka@e-7.com>]

Hi,

ON my Notebook ASUS L8400B, I've installed Debian Sarge with Gnome 2.4
The Battery Applet works fine, when I'm logged in as root, but not with a
normal user account. Then the following Error message appears:

Can't access ACPI events in /var/run/acpid.socket!

Make sure the ACPI subsystem is working and
the acpid daemon is running.


There is no acpid runnig (in both scenarios) and the doesn't exists
in both situations.

I think it's just a problem of permissions, but which?

Can you hilp me?


Thanks
Sascha
