Bug Description

When I boot my HP Pavillion dv3510nr notebook on battery power, the battery indicator displayed by Gnome indicates that the computer is plugged in, and the tooltip reads "laptop battery is fully charged." However, if I open up Gnome Power Manager I can see that the battery is discharging and the system is not plugged in. If I then plug the notebook in, the correct battery level will be displayed on the icon and the status will change to "charging." I can then unplug and the battery indicator will behave properly.

Lucid beta 1 x64. This bug was also present in Karmic.
