severity 676213 wishlist
retitle 676213 fdpowermon should do Something Useful(tm) when run on a system 
that doesn't (currently) have a battery
thanks

Having given this some thought, I'm not sure this is a bug, really.

If the system is not desiged to be battery-powered (e.g., because it is
a desktop system, not a laptop), showing any battery-related icon would
be wrong.

Since we're using the output of the "acpi" command, which does not
distinguish between 'the battery was removed' or 'this system does not
have the ability to run on battery power', that makes it hard to
conditionally show a "battery missing" icon.

As such, a missing icon is actually a better result, though it might
make sense to actively disable the icon (rather than passively allowing
it to remain where it is, which in many cases turns out to be the same
thing).

Since I don't agree this is a bug, marking as wishlist instead.

to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and
save on postage.
