Hello,

There is a patch that came into Debian Unstable fixing the HAL dependency (using upower instead). 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580429
>From my own experience I can say it's doing pretty well. 

Is there any other reason to call battstat-applet "obsolete and buggy
software"? Because I definitely support what Ricky wrote here: g-p-m is
just too different thing from battstat to be its replacement.

Moreover - battstat applet is the only straightforward (in look'n'feel)
replacement of "Battery Maximizer" gauge for Thinkpad laptops users
switching from Windows to Linux.

Any chance for the patch to come to Ubuntu and get battstat-applet
reenabled?

Title:
  battstat applet is missing

Status in “gnome-applets” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-applets

  With the upgrade to gnome-{panel,applets}-2.28, the battstat simply
  applet disappeared. There is no way to actually get the information of
  the remaining battery time prominently back in a place in a panel I'd
  like.

  Just the percentage information from g-p-m in the notification area is
  not enough. It a) doesn't show the remaining time and b) doesn't allow
  me to show it where *I* want this information to be shown on the
  panel. So clearly, only the applet fulfils this usecase.

  I expected the applet not to disappear in first place. Then I expected
  to be able to place that applet back on the panel again.
