You are correct... however If I use the packages from 9.0 ... I get the
battery working. with the ones from cooker I get 0:00 on the taskbar.
All other files packages remain the same... I just rpm -Uvh icewm and
icewm-light of the correct version. and it doesn't happen. I've been
trying to do some code digging but not being a competent programmer it's
slow for me.
