Hi there,

I noticed that version 0.5.1 of the the battery panel plugin doesn't work when
the deprecated ACPI power nodes are disabled in the kernel
(CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER disabled).

I'm using vanilla-sources-2.6.35.4. ACPI power nodes in /proc is deprecated and
have been moved into sysfs. Both battery and ac_adapter information can now be
found under /sys/class/power_supply/ (ACAD and BAT1 in my case).

The plugin doesn't seem to have any code to get information from the sysfs
files.

Greets,
Tobias
