           Summary: shows AC eeven when on battery
           Product: Xfce Panel Plugins
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: battery
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


reading /proc/acpi/battery on newer linux versions does not work with current code
so even when unplugged the battery plugin reports it's on AC power.
see this link for the fix in ubuntu, and the actual patch below
