No. The battery applet works with Intrepid. Intrepid took me quite some time to get running, because the install cd didnt configure my laptops keyboard and mouse for some reason. A problem I didnt have with Hardy. Also intrepid doesnt recognize my wireless card. I played around for some time trying to get it to work with no success, so I had to revert back to hardy because I need my wireless. My wireless card is junk using Hardy also. For a short period of time I can get full speed wireless and then it drops to 14kb/s. Anyway, I wouldnt concern yourself with this battery applet bug because it DOES work with Intrepid. Unfortunately, until I can use wireless with Intrepid and get my video card to do better than 800x600 I'm going to be forced to run an alternate OS. But believe me as soon as its fixed ill be back with Ubuntu, which is what I run on all my other pc's with great success. Keep up the good work. Wont be long and everyone will be running linux. I even have my computer illiterate uncle running Hardy ;)
