Summary: xfce4-battery-plugin does not see ac_adapter status

Details: This is a bug showed a long time ago.
I am using debian testing and the battery plugin does not know then I am using only battery. I shows-me the "ac" allways.

I "corrected" the bug on my pc, but it's a bad solution. (It's no solution at all.)
Just added the line to get the right /proc/acpi file (libacpi.c):

   if (!(acpi = fopen ("/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/0/status", "r")))
    if (!(acpi = fopen ("/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state", "r")))
      if (!(acpi = fopen ("/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state", "r")))
+      if (!(acpi = fopen ("/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC0/state", "r")))
        if (!(acpi = fopen ("/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ADP1/state", "r")))
                return -1;

Maybe you can think in a more elegant way to get this file (like you do with the battery state).

Thanks for the pacience.
