Martin didn't right the patch for this - that was Jan Arne Petersen.

The bug this was linked to has a misleading title - the actual issue the reporter was experiencing was the gap in the notification area increasing in size each time the icon reappeared, but the reporter of that bug kept mixing multiple issues (including a "crash" that he never actually experienced. I did ask the reporter to update the title/description with the real issue). That appears to be the same issue you're experiencing as well - please confirm this.

If that is the case, then this is an indicator-application bug (as the fallback to GtkStatusIcon for people not using the indicator applet happens internally to libappindicator - gnome-power-manager has no control over that, and it's not a gpm bug).

The GLib critical and warning message there are a red herring.

Are you describing the icon coming and going as a bug too? If so, please describe the conditions this occurs under, and did this behaviour change recently I can't recreate this issue, and without further information it is difficult to do anything else with it.
