- Steps to reproduce: 
- Laptop (Dell Inspiron 2200) 
- 1) unplug AC power 
- 2) replug AC power 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ Laptop (Dell Inspiron 2200 with an after-market AC adapter)
+ 1) unplug AC power
+ 2) replug AC power
  
  Resulting symptoms: Frequently (probably 70% of the time)
-   1) Pulsing, Flashing, beating, flickering display (looks like the 
brightness level is popping up and down rapidly) 
-   2) The battery indicator still shows battery as discharging.
-   3) The battery indicator's  Power Statistics (usually accessed by clicking 
battery status on popdown menu) and Preferences screen are unavailable.  If you 
click on the battery status area you can see a faintly visible 3D outline of a 
transparent dialog box the size of the normal popdown menu item, but no item is 
visible).
-   4) upower --dump, cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state, and cat 
/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC/state sometimes match what the battery indicator 
displays and sometimes not.  This is what leads me to think it is some kind of 
acpi event or other power event not being properly processed on a deeper level 
than just the gnome-power-manager or the battery indicator malfunctioning. I'll 
try and provide more details of this at a later time.
