Bug#352646: gnome-applets-data: Battstat report battery power when on AC

[René Seindal]

Package: gnome-applets-data
Version: 2.12.2-4
Severity: normal


After the upgrade to gnome 2.12 the battery charge applet always shows
the system on battery power, also while on AC power.

The system *is* on AC power.

Here's a screenshot of the applet with tooltip:

and the dialog that met me this morning, when the laptop had been on the whole night.
