Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-01-10 15:24:16 UTC
In RHEL, we ended up removing the battery applet from the list of available applets, because we always start gnome-power-manager.

We did this by using the null applet.

One problem we ran into was that users doing upgrades were confronted with an error dialog at startup.

The error message said something like:

Bad key or directory name: "0x9a073f8/bonobo_iid": Must begin with a slash (/)
