Sorry about that, I was really frustrated.

Here g-p-m is very broken (and it was working very well in 10.04),
It:

10.10 regressions:

* This one.

* shows battery status twice on battery hotplug, and as soon as I remove the battery, it shows the status once,
so it never realizes battery is removed. Somewhere battery is added twice.
Note that I don't have /proc and sysfs interfaces in kernel config. I also tested this with ubuntu's kernel (2.6.35-generic...)
Kernel has only /sys battery interface.

* Shows 'estimating' all the time AC is plugged and battery is charging.

Older regressions:

* Its gconf settings for lock on suspend (which I disable, because I don't want screensaver nor black screen (pun intended) on resume are ingnored. the indicator-session now just always locks the screen.

* Doesn't show battery percentage on discharge (10.4 addition, I swallowed it I'll say...)
* Doesn't hibernate the system on empty battery because the threshold (which is specified in time which is not accurate) is too low (its like 2 minutes). I worked that around by editing gconf keys.
* Doesn't allow to configure 'on battery' settings if battery wasn't plugged before the log-in.
