Bug Description

On a fresh install when I first booted in, my out of power notification appeared before the panel does, so it points to the wrong spot

In addition - the little peak to point at the spot sits too far left where it doesn't look correct.

this shows both the notification on the top left, and the arrow too far left

I guess a reasonable default if it can't point somewhere, woudl be to loose the little arrow and display it in the top right?

This is a problem with the gnome-power-manager application. It requests a arrow before the widget is actually displayed. This results in (0,0) as coordinates for the arrow notification.
