Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I have an icon representing a plug in gnome-power-manager, and if I hang my pointer over g-p-m I don't see any percentage. If I kill g-p-m and restart it, it goes fine and shows the battery. If I unplug the power cord, the screen is correctly dimmed but the icon is not updated, and everything is ok in /proc/acpi and hal:

vincenzo@frattaglia:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charging
present rate: 17539 mW
remaining capacity: 42552 mWh
present voltage: 11260 mV

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducable with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

I have no longer been experiencing this problem for a long time, hence it must have been fixed meanwhile.
