I have just set up the battery status applet on my MATE desktop (I  
usually work with i3, so I have it running inside an Xephyr session).

On a HP ZBook 14, the behaviour looks ok for now. I will observe this  
for a while.

What you could do for me is:

   o install Debian jessie on your friends' notebooks...
   o and test the battery status applet there
   o ... so that we get an impression about different
     ACPI implementations / notebook models

My fear is that we have a Thinkpad / ACPI issue here, not a GUI issue per se.

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
