Bug Description

Today's dapper dist-upgrade (March 30). Even though I have told the battery monitor (via right-click -> preferences) to not notify me when the battery is fully charged, it keeps telling me that every few minutes.
The system is not discharging: it is plugged into the wall. /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state seems to report things correctly.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'battstat-applet'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

Does this still happen in Dapper RC?

Is this 'gnome-power-manager' displaying the message, or GNOME's 'battstat-applet-2'? Which does the little '^' arrow on the notification window appear next to.

Can you also please include the output of:

  lshal -m

Not sure why it picked Tilix for gnome-power-manager...

Sorry for delay in feedback. The bug indeed seems to be fixed now: it gave "one fully charged" notification and has been silent after that.

It happened both with the battstat-applet and with the gnome-power-manager; I had disabled full-battery-notification via gconf-editor.
