[gentoo-user] Gnome Applet Problem with Batterie Applet

[Kabel The Real]

Hi out there,

I own an IBM Thinkpad T60, and I use Gentoo with Gnome. Everything is
working very good, except on applet, the  "Batterie Charge Monitor" Applet.
Well this applet or a similar one is very important for me, because I mostly
use my notebook without Power Supply... When I want to add the applet to my
Panel I get the following Error message: The panel encountered a problem
while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_BattstatApplet".
Now I know that the batterie Status indicator is working, because when I use
Kismet it's telling me how long I have batterie. Always starting Kismet to
know how long my power last isn't the right thing to do, so I'm asking you
if you can help me, either to fix the problem with that applet or indicate
me anotherone or a shellcommand to find out how long the power will last...

I'm happy for any hint,

Greetz,
