Dear Maintainer,

I don't know if I am filing this bug against the correct package, correct me in
case.

The applet on the Gnome panel that shows the state of the battery shows an
incorrect number: for example, if acpi on the shell returns 31%, then the
applet shows 3.1%. Curiosly, the time to end the charge/time to finish the
battery charge is correct, and all the notifications about low battery/critical
low battery are right (they report an incorrect percentage, but the correct
times).
This usually happens after I hibernate and thaw my laptop. On the first boot,
the information is correct. After subsequent hibernate/thaw cycles the value
stays the same, at 1/10th of the acpi reported value.

I am using a Lenovo X220i laptop with a fresh install of debian testing.

Thank you,

marco
