Comment 3 for bug 270123

Just to be clear, this is how I understand your problem - The battery status icon (which is drawn by gnome-power-manager) always says that the laptop is running on AC power even when it isn't. Is that correct?

Could you please also run the following (without the AC adapter connected);

hal-find-by-capability --capability "ac_adapter" | xargs -n 1 hal-device

Thanks
