Hi,

from lookin at one of my machines it apears /proc/acpi/battery isn't even common to all machines, I haven't 
looked into this much though.  I hate to say it, but if we are going to implement a battery status function, 
we should probably do it by gnome-power-manager, or maybe running the acpi command if that is common, I not 
sure it is though.  Personally, I don't se much use for this feature, (I spend most of my day at a terminal 
running acpi myself is n times easier).  My biggest thought here is that we should try very hard to avoid a 
absolute dependency on gnome-power-manager, because there is no reason to run it on a desktop, and others may 
well not want to have it around on their laptops.
