Bug Description

The battstat applet is displaying a constant 0% battery. It worked just fine in Dapper Flight 2 but since I've installed flight 3 the problem has appeared.

I'm using a Compaq Evo N410C with the internal battery and one extra clip on.

The icon doesn't switch to the charging icon even when AC is plugged in.

ACPI shows both batteries as fully charged.

dean@yeni:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/C188/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate: 0 mW
remaining capacity: 22990 mWh
present voltage: 16852 mV

dean@yeni:~$ cat /proc/acpi/battery/C187/state
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: charged
present rate: 0 mW
remaining capacity: 30249 mWh
present voltage: 16835 mV

I'm not sure what other information is useful, but don't hesitate to ask for anymore.
