Comment 6 for bug 876279

Happens here too using an n455 based netbook (J&W minix m1200) right after login. The power management keeps bugging me with useless notification in an infinite loop. After removing the battery indicator the notifications are gone, but the top still reports high cpu usage caused by upowerd.
In LXDE the layout of the panel gets muddled due to the constant changes

Affected versions:
xubuntu 11.04 desktop i386 live (booting from pendrive), and installed
xubuntu 11.10 desktop i386 live (booting from pendrive)
lubuntu 11.10 desktop i386 live (booting from pendrive)
xubuntu 12.04 desktop i386 daily live (booting from pendrive)

Using the following releases the power management works normally:
xubuntu 10.04.2 desktop i386 live (booting from pendrive)
ubuntu 10.10 dekstop i386 installed
