Two bugs in xfce4 - Battery Monitor

[Luis Miguel García]

well... I have grouped the two bugs in only one.

I have only ACPI runnning. No APM. If I don't load battery.ko module, 
the plugin doesn't show the temperature of my cpu (even when they are 
unrelated). If I load battery.ko module into the kernel, the temperature 
appears.

Any tip?
