Comment 4 for bug 462267

Hi. If you want battstat-applet try next.

$ cd {any tmp directory}
$ apt-get source gnome-applets
$ cd gnome-applets-x.xx.x

Standard build process:

$ .configure
Repeat previous step until no warnings and all dependency libs installed.
$ make
$ sudo make install

Backup your system settings:
$ sudo cp GNOME_BattstatApplet.server ~/

Set new server:
$ sudo cp /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_BattstatApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/

"Restart" gnome-panels
$ killall gnome-panel

Try to add the applet you've built.

I understand, that it's dirty way. And I'm new in Linux and Ubuntu.
