Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Battery Charge Monitor 2.13.90 always shows "Connected to AC power",
even if AC is disconnected and computer is running on battery. Battery
load level is shown correctly.

Gnome power manager applet shows AC connection status correctly in
tooltip. User just has to make power manager applet visible with 'gnome-
power-preferences'.

I am using Acer Travelmate 3000 (3004WTMi) and Dapper Flight 3 with
updates on 2006-03-02.
