Bug#606434: gnome-power-manager: swapping batteries creates multiple notification area listings

[Tyler MacDonald]

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.32.0-2
Severity: normal


My laptop has two batteries and always drains the one in the side bay first.
I keep a third in my backpack so that when I'm away from the wall for
extended periods, I can hot-swap and keep going for longer.

Whenever I do this, it creates another entry in the dropdown on the gnome
notification area. However, the two entries stay "in sync", and if you click
into the "Power Statistics" panel, there are no duplicates there.

I just tried unplugging my celphone from the USB port and plugging it in and
the same thing happens... I've taken a screenshot.

  Thanks,
    Tyler
