Binary package hint: kde-guidance
Not sure for how long this has been going on, perhaps a couple of weeks. The kde applet for the power manager doesn't seem to know when the battery is unplugged or not, resulting in no CPU governor change and no screen backlight dimming.
When unplugged, changes on the "mains connected" settings will reflect immediately, same as when it is plugged.
This is a Sony VAIO FS285M laptop (centrino chipset, Pentium M 1.73). It used to work just fine for many a month in this regard.
Hardy was installed fresh in January due to a bigger HDD coming in. It worked fine then.
Hardy fully updated as of yesterday, Kubuntu, running the KDE3 applet under KDE 4.0.3 (no change if I run the KDE3 desktop).

Please let me know what else is needed for diagnosis. |
hal properly reports battery charging/discharging state but incorrectly reports whether the AC adapter is unplugged.
lshal output when unplugged or plugged in both indicates:
ac_adapter.present = true (bool)
present on several laptops in Hardy, Intrepid, and Jaunty.
in Jaunty:
acpi -V (plugged in)
Battery 0: Charging, 81%, 04:06:26 until charged
Battery 0: design capacity 53280 mAh, last full capacity 50890 mAh = 95%
AC Adapter 0: on-line
Thermal 0: ok, 47.0 degrees C
Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 8
Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10
acpi -V (unplugged)
Battery 0: Discharging, 81%, 02:16:47 remaining
