[Bug 486695] [NEW] battery monitor shows "no battery" until first time AC power unplugged

[Triggonaut]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

The battery monitor applet shipped with Kubuntu 9.10 shows "no battery"
from startup on. The "flash"-icon indicating if the power supply is
connected works well but it thinks that there is no battery connected.
But if I disconnect the power, the flashs disappears immediately and
after a few seconds, the "batter N/A"-icon disappears and gets replaced
by the regular icon with four green bars indicating a fully loaded
battery. Even if I reconnect the power source, the battery icon works
properly, it seems like KDE doesn't notice the battery as long as it is
connected to a power source.

Another user on the German ubuntuusers.org-Community reported, that
regardless of what power state he is in, the icon keeps in "battery not
avaiable" state. He uses the "Acer Aspire 7730g"-notebook as well as me,
but as described above the bug disappears as soon as I once disconnect
the power source.
