[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#331414: #331414: xfce4-battery-plugin Consumes too much CPU time

[Michael Gilbert]

tag 331414 confirmed
found 0.5.0-2
thanks

i can confirm this bug in the latest version of the package.  it can
be seen that xfce4-battery-plugin hits the cpu pretty hard every
second or so (see attached screenshot xfce-battery-monitor-on.png).
you can see that this does not happen when the plugin is not on the
panel (see screenshot xfce-battery-monitor-off.png).  also note that
gnome provides a battery monitor implementation that never hits the
cpu hard (see screenshot gnome-battery-monitor-on.png).  you may want
to take a look at their implementation.

thanks for the hard work.
