Bug#314736: gnome-applets: 2.18.0-3 continues to be unusable

[heera]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.18.0-3
Followup-For: Bug #314736


The symptoms are a little bit different. Whenever I change the state of 
AC power (on or off), then I see a sensible battery status (66% charged 
or whatever). A few seconds later, however, it reverts back to "No 
battery present." and always shows "System is running on AC power" even 
when the AC power is disconnected.
