tag 331414 confirmed found 0.5.0-2 thanks i can confirm this bug in the latest version of the package. it can be seen that xfce4-battery-plugin hits the cpu pretty hard every second or so (see attached screenshot xfce-battery-monitor-on.png). you can see that this does not happen when the plugin is not on the panel (see screenshot xfce-battery-monitor-off.png). also note that gnome provides a battery monitor implementation that never hits the cpu hard (see screenshot gnome-battery-monitor-on.png). you may want to take a look at their implementation.
thanks for the hard work. mike
