Bug 493343

Description of problem:
g-p-m would incorrectly claim that the laptop's battery is broken, and fails to display the notification icon after that. Other functionalities (e.g. brightness keys) still work, but suspend/resume is no longer possible, either through the Main Menu or through the g-p-m systray icon (since it is not displayed, it cannot be right-clicked)

Going to try booting the -16 kernel revision and see if the problem was already present there; AFAIR it worked just fine yesterday.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.29-21.fc11.x86_64
gnome-power-manager-2.26.0-1.fc11.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unplug AC adapter
2. killall gnome-power-manager && gnome-power-manager (tried with --verbose --no-daemon too; no difference)
3. Repeat with AC adapter plugged
  
Actual results:
The following pop-up notice is given in both (2) and (3):
"""
Battery may be broken

Your battery has a very low capacity 69%), which means that it may be old or broken.
"""
After that, the notification icon is not shown.

Expected results:
Should work as usual, regardless of whether g-p-m detects a broken battery or not
