[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#291120: xfce4-battery-plugin: Plugin still displays wrong timing

[7nrmi1s02 at sneakemail.com (Thomas Prokosch)]

Package: xfce4-battery-plugin
Version: 0.4.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #291120

I can confirm that when running on AC the plugin still displays the time
which would be left if I was not running on AC.

For example when the battery is 40% full, the battery panel plugin
displays 40 minutes, however acpitool says that I need another 60
minutes before the battery is fully charged.

Contrary to the OP I would prefer not to hide the timing display when
running on AC but display the time needed for fully charging the
battery. This is a useful feature for me, and it would be easier to
implement than hiding the display.

What does the Ubuntu patch do?
