In fact I have the same problem with GNOME battery applets. If I add the battery applet to the panel, I get this error message:

"Can't access ACPI events in /var/run/acpi.socket! Make sure the ACPI subsystem is working and the acpid daemon is running."

And

$ sudo /etc/init.d/acpid start
 * Loading ACPI modules... [ ok ]
 * Starting ACPI services... acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy

$ sudo fuser -v /proc/acpi/event
