I also happens in edgy.

I have been browsing the code, and it seems like it can be patched. I attach the patch. I am newbe and I am not a member who can modify any software. I do not know really how this is going and who has to read this is order to aprove and apply this patch to a new distro or update.

I also write the steps I have done:

sudo apt-get source xfce4-battery-plugin

"modify the battmon.c file with the patch."

cd xfce4-battery-plugin-0.4.0
sudo dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
dpkg -i xfce4-battery-plugin_0.4.0-0ubuntu4_i386.deb

The panel is no longer resized when the battery monitor is added.
