Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.8.2-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Battstat on my laptop (Toshiba P20-311) don't show the correct value of the
charge of the battery at startup. I have to wait several minutes to get it.
I've made some test and discoveded that "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/*"
give the wrong value the first few time.
So I patched battstat_applet.c to get acpiinfo 10 times at startup.
It works for me and don't think would harm others.
