Battery monitor weirdness

[René Seindal <rene@seindal.dk>]

Hi,

I dist-upgraded Debian testing yesterday, which brought me X.org 6.9 and 
 Gnome 2.12, but apparently there's something fishy about the Battery 
Charge Monitor (v2.12.2), which almost always shows "The system is 
running on battery power.  10 hours (100%) remaining".

I have the AC adapter plugged in, and if I unplug it and plugs it in 
again, the battery monitor shows AC status for a short while, and 
returns to the above battery 100% message.

This morning I found the laptop very much alive, with this dialog on the 
screen: http://bryggenet.dk/~rene/Screenshot-Battery%20Notice.png

I never saw that with 2.10, proving that also on the humourous front is 
Gnome progressing at breakneck speed :-)

Needless to say,  I immediately followed all the advice given, in order :-)

/me is off reporting bugs
