Different battery status applets may use different backends for
monitoring the battery capabilities (i.e., GNOME applet may be using HAL
while others query directly ACPI). Just guessing O:-)

Or it can be simply that one of the applets is experiencing some kind of
bug/problem for gathering that data from your machine.

BTW, what is the output of "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info"?

That is also what I think. However, these are out-of-the-box applets,
and they should consequently be compatible (i.e. give the same results).

The output of your command is the same as the info box you can see on my
screenshot.

And when you put the cursor on the other applet, does it show exactly
the same remaining time?

Thanks.

I agree. Look:

Although I am running Debian Lenny in a VM (VirtualBox) both applets are
showing the same information, there is no discrepancy between them :-?

Maybe this is something worth to report it.

Yes :-)

If you carefully look the picture I sent, you will see the remaining time
displayed at the right of the icon:

[green icon1 94%] [green icon2 1:34] [blue icon3 bubble]
^^^^

Anyway, if I put the mouse over the two first icons (they are the same
applet just one is displaying "percentage" and the other "remaining
time") I get the same value.
