[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#466058: xfce4 battery plugin and 2.6.24 kernels

[Celejar]

The problem is not exclusive to Dell; it affects my Acer Aspire
3690-2672.  I've been seeing the exact same behavior as the OP since
2.6.24-rc4 (vanilla from kernel.org, the first 2.6.24 I tried),
and currently with a custom kernel built from linux-source-2.6.24
(2.6.24-3 - I haven't yet built -4); the plugin initially reports 100%,
and soon drops to 28%, consistently.  It also incorrectly reports that
the AC is offline.

Output of 'grep . /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/*' (my system only has
BAT1, no BAT0):
