 Sorry - it is plugged in at the moment :-) Applet thinks it is charging
which it isn't.

 Let me unplug it now and see what it says:

 Ok now power applet still says 48% (charging) Not plugged in.

 upower now shows:

   battery

    state:               discharging
    energy:              83.2 Wh
    energy-empty:        0 Wh
    energy-full:         83.45 Wh
    energy-full-design:  86.58 Wh

    time to empty:       3.4 hours
    percentage:          99.7004%
    capacity:            96.3733%

  History (charge):
    1309190144  99.700  discharging
    1309190112  99.976  discharging
  History (rate):
    1309190144  24.700  discharging
    1309190114  25.533  discharging
    1309190112  26.825  discharging
    1309190110  26.847  discharging

 So applet is wrong whether a/c power is plugged in or not.

 This is kernel 3.0 rc4 if that makes any difference on otherwise fully
updated F15.
