I have the same problem and actually at least for my mouse battery monitoring already worked with 9.04. That was with xfce and I'm using gnome now. I never figured out what notified me in xfce about the mouse battery. For some reasons I tested karmic all the time, so I didn't use the packages from 9.04 for a long time and at some point it simply stopped to work. As batteries last for at least a month, I can't say which packages I updated in the mean time.
