Battery Applet on gnome-panel freezes after resume

 - what steps will reproduce the problem?
On an Ubuntu 11.04 install install Battery Status. Add it to gnome-panel as an applet (right click, add to panel, battery applet) and it works fine. Then suspend the computer to RAM and resume it.

 - what is the expected result?
Battery Indicator on gnome-panel should continue working correctly.

 - what happens instead?
Battery Indicator on gnome-panel is not responding to (left) clicks and icon/text are frozen with old values.

A workaround is to do:
$ killall python battery-status
but gnome-panel's dialog about deleting the applet pops-up, which is annoying and inefficient.

$dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.EnumerateDevices
method return sender=:1.86 -> dest=:1.88 reply_serial=2
