Description Jason Montleon 2012-03-24 21:33:24 CET
Description of problem:
Since upgrading to kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64 in Fedora 16 I now get icons for my laptop battery, phone, bluetooth mouse, and bluetooth keyboard when they are attached. This clutters the notification area with 2-4 battery icons, when all I really want to see is my laptop battery.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xfce4-power-manager-1.0.10-2.fc16.x86_64
kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64

Additional info:
The phone always showed up when attached with older kernels, but with the most
recent kernel I started seeing battery_hid_ devices and things are a little out
of control. At times I have more battery icons than all other icons combined in
the notification area. There should be a way to hide some of these without hiding all of them.

This has been fixed in git master with the battery-plugin replacing the (multiple) trayicon(s). Multiple devices are grouped and shown in a menu.
