After addition of the Battery Monitor to a panel it did detect the status and a change of the status correctly, but in a minuite or so with unplugged power supply, it crashed. Probably related things. Since an upgrade of gdm about a week ago I constantly get two messages when I log in. First is that I have wrong permissions for file .dmrc , though I created an empty file with this name and with indicated permissions/owner. Second, that panel is already running. Well, while typing this I tried a few times to connect/disconnect the power, it did not crash again. Best regards, -- V.Chukharev Oops, the report from bugbuddy disappered... Sorry.
