Hey all, During the dapper cycle, I raised the idea of showing the gnome-power-manager icon all the time and there was a great deal of discussion either way[1]. However, since then, I have run into a number of issues where g-p-m does not figure out the correct state for my battery and thus thinks it is full and on AC and thus hides the icon when in fact it is neither. Given I have seen a fair number of bug reports with similar issues[2], I think we should rethink our policy of hiding the icon at any time , if for no other reason than g-p-m is currently less than perfect. (Of course, I still believe in all the reasons I raised at that time as well)

However, this probably doesn't catch all the bugs that exist in this specific issue) Cheers, Corey -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
