@Chris: let me know if you need any further info on this bug. As for your question of the "coming and going", it just happens automatically, in cycles of about 1-2 minutes. I don't do anything, maybe it's the power manager updating the icon.
One other info that might be relevant here is that the battery applet has no tooltip for me. I can left-click on it, but there is no tooltip. -- battery applet comes and goes in notification area https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529052 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
