Bug#562023: gnome-power-manager: Shows on battery icon when power is plugged in but not charging.

[Kurt Roeckx]

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.28.1-2

Hi,

On my laptop, when I'm on mains power it does not always show
that but instead shows I'm on battery.  That is, it just shows
the battery and not the plug next to it.

It seems that it's using the wrong data to base this on.  I think
it's basing it on the battery's "state: discharing" part, while it
should look at the line_power_AC's "line-power online: yes" part.

Note that my bios either reports charging or discharging.  You
could claim this is wrong, but it really is slowing discharging
when it's not charging.

The same type of problems might also explain some other weird
behaviour that I'm seeing, like dimming my screen too fast
for no good reason.
