[Bug 879153] [NEW] KDE power applet shows incorrect remaining battery percentage

[Gert van Dijk]

Public bug reported:

Sometimes, the KDE Power applet indicates an incorrect remaining battery
percentage for my laptop. The information in /proc/acpi/battery are
correct and also my platform-specific (Thinkpad) kernel module shows the
correct info. Also running 'upower -d' (output partly shown in the
attached screenshot) shows the correct information. I'ver attached a
screenshot in which you can see both values of the remaining percentage
don't match up.

I would assume the KDE power applet would display the same percentage,
instead, it seems frozen to a previous state.

I haven't found a path to reproduce; it just happens from time to time
and probably I am not noticing it always. Both when discharging and
charging it might freeze.

Hardware: Thinkpad T61p 6457, single battery installed.
