Derek,
I've found a very crude way to get Power Manager applet to show my
battery status. If I restart hal and then kill and then run
/usr/share/python-support/kde-guidance-powermanager/guidance-power-manager.py
Power Manager works. It even reports an absent second battery. This
sounds like a hal issue to me. What do you think?
Thanks,
Rick
