devkit-power-daemon broken?

[Ankur Sinha]

hey,

I've had this issue for quite a while now.

I have a HP pavilion laptop that runs a Fedora 12 (up to date) and vista
(the original that came with the laptop). I'm using GNOME as of now.

When a power cut occurs, the power applet continues to show the adapter
plugged in,and battery at 100%. This restrains my system from
hibernating etc correctly, or even dimming display when ac power is
removed. 

I've already filed a bug here.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554363

To confirm that there is indeed a bug, I've checked using acpi-tool,
htop all of which give correct values of battery and that there is no ac
power attached. 

As the bugreport says, killing /usr/libexec/devkit-power-daemon and re
running it corrects the status, however it's irritating to have to do
this every time a power cut occurs (if im around that is). 

Can someone think of a fix or at least a work around for the time
being?
