Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2006-07-26 08:39:21 UTC 
the battery applet wakes up from sleep once per second to do practically nothing and then goes back to sleep again.

ironically, this has a negative impact on the battery life of laptops.

on hal, this is silly, since hal is entirely event driven.

the battery applet should wait for an event from hal before checking if anything new has happened.

        * battstat_applet.c: Add a callback system to notify the applet when
          changes to the battery state have been reported by HAL (removes the
          need to poll once per second).  Closes bug #348750.
