Bug Description

The laptop is a Dell Latitude D600 with 512 MB memory. When first started and logged into a nice battery icon appears in the upper panel. When I roll my mouse over the icon battery life information is displayed. I then say move my mouse back to the desktop somewhere and shortly after that the battery icon disappears.
I have used the add to panel feature to add an additional battery monitoring icon and that one sticks but the one next to the speaker icon disappears.

The installation is stock Ubuntu 7.10

I should also add I used the alternate CD to do the installation as the live CD installation did not display and opening splash screen (black screen with orange "Ubuntu" lettering and did not enable effects on the ATI video card.

Solved. After thinking about this a bit I went to System/Preferences/Power Management and there is a check box to display all the time or during charging etc.
