Bug#766801: mate-applets: battery charge monitor icon goes the reverse order while charging

[Ayke van Laethem]

Package: mate-applets
Version: 1.8.1+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When my laptop is on AC power, the Battery Charge Monitor shows a near-empty
battery icon when the battery has fully recharged, and a full battery when it
is empty. When the laptop (a Lenovo Thinkpad T60) runs on battery power, the
applet works as expected: the battery icon shows a graphic representation of
the actual charge level. I would expect the icon to behave in a similar way
regardless of whether it is charging or not.
(Additionally, when the power plug is inserted or removed, the icon isn't
updated immediately, but I think that issue is only a side effect of this bug).

I have attached a screenshot of the applet when the battery is full.

(This bug, like #766749, has been submitted using a different system
than where it occurs, because sendmail does not work on my laptop for
some reason).
