Hm, I'm myself not a linux expert, and, more over, am using KDE. I'm not experienced with Gnome, so I'm sorry.
At least I found out the following: in order for applications to control battery status, they must be able to get the infos from the /proc/acpi directory. If you compiled ACPI battery status as a module, it won't be loaded, and thus, applications cannot read the info. I advice you to compile the options hard into the kernel. So far my knowledge. Feel free to tell me more if you get the latest infos. I will be interesting!
