            Bug ID: 11447
           Summary: xfce4-power-manager says the battery is charging when
                    it is not (and vice-versa)
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Xfce4-session
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux

Somehow, xfce4-power-manager managed to get in a state where
* When I'm using the battery, it says the battery is charging
* When I'm NOT using the battery, it says the battery is discharging
I was testing the panel plugin when this started to happen.

I suppose it is updating some variable in the code using a negation, e.g.
isCharging = not isCharging
when the user (un)plugs the charger. So, once the wrong state got there (not
sure how), it keeps showing the wrong status. If it checked if the charger is
present or not each time, it should fix itself without requiring me to log out. 

$ xfce4-power-manager --version
Xfce Power Manager 1.4.1
$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 14.10 \n \l
