Took me a while to get back to this - sorry.

I've got a Dell 1100 here with an Intel 845 chipset, seems to not display this bug. So, this is somewhat strange.

Dell 8200 with 845 chip gives funny output (as above) when you pull AC power, wait a few ticks, then put AC back onto laptop.

If you start the the laptop with the AC power inserted you don't get the problem.

Interestingly I get a really similar problem only on this Dell 8200 with the kde battery monitor too, but not with the gnome one. I might have to dig around the source code on this one as there must be something significant thats different between the gnome and xfce/kde code.

Cheers,
Craig
