Maybe it is the right way.

For my case, I have seen more interest thing on battery plugin:
When I login xfce4, it shows 45% and turns to be 100% after several
seconds; and, if I unplug the AC adapter, it will show 45% for some seconds,
and then show 100% even the computer is using the battery. Meanwhile,
acpi -b and lshal also give right info on the battery.

So, the bug is still open, xfce4 battery plugin can not give out right info of
battery.
