Yes :-) If you carefully look the picture I sent, you will see the remaining time displayed at the right of the icon: [green icon1 94%] [green icon2 1:34] [blue icon3 bubble] Anyway, if I put the mouse over the two first icons (they are the same applet just one is displaying percentage and the other remaining time) I get the same value.

Battery status is not the same using two different sources of info
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am using GNOME with kernel 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem. I am on an ASUS EEE 1000-HE netbook, with some fresh battery. Here is a first screenshot: http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/dif_bat_status.png. You can see, at the right, at the top of the screen, that 4h. and 1 min. are still available from the battery. Now, putting the mouse on the green battery gives 3h30 min. left. Why is there such a difference on both indicators? Thanks. - -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ - -- - From those to whom much is given, much is expected.

Different battery status applets may use different backends for monitoring the battery capabilities (i.e., GNOME applet may be using HAL while others query directly ACPI). Just guessing O:-) Or it can be simply that one of the applets is experiencing some kind of bug/problem for gathering that data from your machine.
