That's great. We make sure that when we experience such an issue, we'll
help as much as possible to solve it.
As a side note, I noticed gnome-power-manager is listed among those that
work well, and last time I checked, it used gpm-primary-xyz.png naming
scheme for the battery indication icons. I think, in regard to other
power managers, if there are any, it would make sense to at least remove
the "gpm" part; and as a matter of fact, two of these battery states are
already listed in the icon-naming-specs:
battery-caution The icon used when the battery is below 40%.
battery-low The icon used when the battery is below 20%.
I think it would make sense to use those instead of gpm-primary-020 and
gpm-primary-040 and extend it to these as well:
battery-empty The icon used when the battery is (nearly) empty.
battery-medium The icon used when the battery is bellow 60%.
battery-high The icon used when the battery is bellow 80%.
battery-full The icon used when the battery is bellow 100%.
Also, the same names with -charging suffix for batteries that are
charging and perhaps as an extra icons same names with ups-, phone- or
whatever-other-device-with-battery- prefix...
Any thoughts on this?
