Bug Description

The battery plugin still uses /proc for battery information which is deprecated in newer kernels.
Now the battery plugin should use /sys for this.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3420992&group_id=66031&atid=513127
Here is a patch which adds support for sysfs.

After patching fbpanel and rebuilding with 6.1 it works on i386 and amd64 quantal installation.
Could this be added to the package?

Regards,
William van de Velde
