Description Havoc Pennington 2002-07-10 21:14:47 UTC 
In GNOME 1.4 if you ran the panel for the first time on a laptop, 
you would get a battery monitor on your panel.

Do we have any idea of "conditional" applets in 2.0?
Comment 1 Mark McLoughlin 2002-07-29 05:03:01 UTC 
No, no such thing as conditional applets. I suppose we should dig up
the old code and figure out how it did it. Putting on the 2.2.x milestone.

(Oh, I'd hate this myself, btw, I've some weird apm/kernel/bios
interaction problem. When you read from /proc/apm the pointer jumps,
even on the console - so I won't be in any rush to implement this :-)
Comment 2 David William Price 2005-03-14 17:38:22 UTC 
The ubuntu hoary array 6 liveCD seemed to do this automatically. Is this part of
Gnome 2.10 now?

Patch from SuSE packages

This patch is from the SuSE packages. There is some if 0'ed code which I don't
know if it's needed or not, so including it also.

Newly added file (battery.c) attached separately.

We have gnome-power-manager now, and it just works. I also hope the libpanel-applet rearchitecture will make this possible, but we don't need this bug anymore.
