It looks to be the same but dates are inconsistents. It works for me until 2006-04-16, the latest message in #32650 was 2006-04-06 21:04:34 UTC.

The problem exist after upgrading to
 acpi-support 0.69, the 0.68 release works fine.

P.D.
 This page does not show the opening date!!

Had the same bug on an HP NC6000 where the notification applet would display the fully charged dialogue every 2 seconds after being charged.

Applying the patch from:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338281

On the 2.14.0-1 release appears to fix it though.
