I’m a user of the battstat applet and was surprised to find it defunct in the latest version. I has a look at the gnome-power-manager display, but found it inferior to the applet: * At least on my vertical panel, the gnome-power-manager icon was shorter than the applet, thus provided a less exact view on the battery status. * g-p-m puts it in the _notification_ area, although it provides (at least when permanently on) status information that I would like to place freely on the panel, next to other status informations. This ways, it is always at the same position, no matter how many notifications I am receiving. I’d be grateful if the applet could come back.
