Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Using 9.10 Karmic, gnome-power-manager 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.
When booting on battery power, gnome-power-manager loads and correctly reflects battery use, charge level, and discharging state. When AC power is supplied, gnome-power-manager updates correctly to show AC use, charge level and charging state. At 100% charge, gnome-power-manager does not correctly update if AC power is disconnected to return to battery operation, and continues to show "Laptop battery is fully charged".
If I let the battery discharge for an hour or two and reconnect AC power, gnome-power-manager will correctly show AC power, charge level (from "100%" to, for instance, "18%" battery level) and charging state.

I was curious how gnome-power-manager would act if I unplugged AC power under 100% charge. I booted up on battery with around 55% battery charge and showing active discharge state, then plugged in AC power for around 10 seconds. It showed battery charging at 55% capacity. I then unplugged the AC adapter and it showed "Laptop battery fully charged."
