Bug Description

Since a few days, gnome-shell's battery icon doesn't seem to update anymore, and the information displayed when I left-click on the battery icon is wrong too. If, however, I restart gnome-shell using ALT-F2 and "r", both the icon and the information are updated immediately.

Battery indicator is stuck at 30%, while Power Settings and "upower -d" show what seem to be the right remaining charge.

This is a serious issue for laptop users. Wrong charge information can lead to very bad surprise. Nobody is gonna check upower rather than just rely on the visual information provided by Gnome Shell's battery indicator.

The bugreport say it is fixed in gnome-shell 3.3.5 (bug: 933466). Could you backport the fix ?
