I'm also having this problem, but with KDE 3.5.  The battery icon can
tell when the system has been unplugged, and seems like it updates
itself then, but otherwise sits there on the same percentage number
regardless of the actual charge in the battery.  For example, it spent
hours yesterday at 5% charge despite the "fully charged" light on the
front of my machine being on.  When I unplugged the machine to sit on my
bed with it, when the backlight dimmed, the icon updated itself.

Interestingly enough, prior to this, for a while the machine listed
itself as having two batteries for some reason, Battery #1 would be
accurate and updated, and Battery #2 would be this non-updated thing.
Even though they're the same battery.

I'd attach some files, but most of the commands seem to be Gnome-
specific, and I'd rather just run/post all of them at once.  Any help I
can provide shall be provided.
