I have the same problem too but i have found that if you kill the gnome- power-manager process and start it again you get the icon!!
Before this update i am sure the battery icon was taken from the icon theme that you are using now when i restart the process to get the icon it uses a generic one that doesnt change when you change the icon theme. -- Battery icon missing after latest Maverick upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614841 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
