Hello,
I did some troubleshooting; it is indeed not a gkrellm problem. I wrote
a little script that echo'ed time, charge_now and charge_full to a
logfile, and found this:
Fri Oct 30 16:19:42 CET 2009
NOW: 5921000 FULL: 5981000 PERCENT: 98
Fri Oct 30 16:20:12 CET 2009
NOW: 7800000 FULL: 5981000 PERCENT: 130
So it looks as if sysfs itself is going nuts. I'll try out a newer
kernel and report back.
Kind regards,
Lennert

Gkrellm's battery krell has a strange bug which makes that when the battery is
100% charged (as visible in 'acpi -b'), it reports it as 128% charged. When
running on battery, it goes from 128% straight to 99% and so on. Charging it
goes from 99% back to 128%.
This is a Dell Latitude D830 laptop, if it makes any difference.
Since 2.3.2, gkrellm uses sysfs information (if available) instead of
acpi. Now, could you please look into /sys/class/power_supply/ and see
what's the information in there?
Additionally, you can also run gkrellm with debug info for battery:
open a terminal and exec:
gkrellm -d 0x8000
and it should print some debug info for the battery part.
Another test, since there are a couple of new kernel version available
for unstable, 2.6.30-2-686 and 2.6.31, you can also try to upgrade to
them and see if the behavior is still there.
Regards,
