Comment 77 for bug 629258

@Darius Kulikauskas: exactly! It happens the same with me. The icon gets emptier as the time goes by. Only the text is not able to show the percentage left.
But the gnome-power-manager has the correct information, because if I click on "Laptop battery" I can see the correct percentage in the window that is showed.

@Frederik Elwert: I don't know if this is correct but I think the recent versions of gnome-power-manager receives that information from upower.
Yes, I agree with you. If the gnome-power-manager already has the percentage left, it should be simple to show it.
But I don't know, I'm not an expert.

I also have Debian in the same machine and I don't have this problem. However, it is using gnome-power-manger 2.30, while ubuntu is using version 2.32.
