I think I ran into this when I first installed Ubuntu on my laptop,
before I made myself sick staying up too late at night to put it on my
desktop.

There are two or three different Preferences and possibly
administrative settings that all have to agree on exactly what you
want where.  on is having a notification area on the panel, which you
do, one is setting up the power settings for the right displays, and
there's a third one that actually controls what gets displayed in the
notification area when you want a power applet there, but that's as
far as I can make out four weeks later - it's all become fuzzy to me.

Sorry I can't be more specific - what I did was poke into every
setting that had anything to do with power, battery, etc.  I can only
tell you that there _is_ a configuration that works.  FTR, I installed
the standard Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop, so the Netbook was never even
a contender, I just went straight to GNOME.
