Description Jason Montleon 2012-03-24 15:55:24 UTC

Description of problem:
Since upgrading to kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64 I now get icons for my laptop battery, phone (which does not display correctly, as a side note), bluetooth mouse, and bluetooth keyboard when they are attached. This clutters the notification area with 2-4 battery icons, when all I really want to see is my laptop battery

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xfce4-power-manager-1.0.10-2.fc16.x86_64
kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 16
2. Upgrade to kernel 3.3.0-4
3. Attach peripherals with batteries
  
Actual results:
Way too many battery icons in the notification area.

Expected results:
That there be a way to hide the icons I don't want to see

Additional info:
The phone always showed up when attached with older kernels, but with the most recent kernel I started seeing battery_hid_ devices and things are a little out of control. At times I have more battery icons than all other icons combined in the system tray. There needs to be a way to hide some of these.
