I am seeing something similar with Ubuntu 10.04 i386 on a Novatech
Xplora E16 (AMD Dual Core TK42 1.6Ghz Processor) that I set up for my
father. The 'Indicator Applet 0.3.7' has two problems relating to
updates:

(1) The AC Adapter is not updated after boot-time, as it shows the boot
up power's state, and the 'Refreshed' attribute shows a time comparable
to uptime.

(2) The battery state, once charged, is only updated once it is charging
again. But it shows the discharge state if it is booted on battery only.
For example, once charged, if the AC power is turned off it still shows
fully charged as the status until the AC power is restored, when it then
shows the true charge and the updating status.

However, both states of the battery is correctly reported in
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state and if I try the command acpitool.

How is the Indicator Applet supposed to periodically update? Is it
depending on BIOS interrupts, or has it a sleep() style timer that
should check periodically?
