In Hoary (I still have it installed in another partition), the gnome panel
applet never displays percentage greater than 100%, either in AC power or on
battery power. But like under Breezy, /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state shows a
sudden jump down from 4500mAh to 3800mAh when I unplug the power cable. But in
both states it is never shown as greater than 100% in the applet.
