Xosview does not display the current status of a acpi battery since there is possibly no hardcoded path where the application should be looking at. For cross reference please have a look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=527810 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xosview on a laptop f.e. Thinkpad T42 with acpi enabled 2. launch "xosview +battery" 3. Actual Results: Xosview does not display the status of a acpi monitored battery. It displays a empty bar. There are no error messages. No further possibility to point xosview to the right path to lookup the needed information. Expected Results: Xosview should display the status of a acpi monitored battery correctly. I have applied a patch from debian mailing-list http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=527810 ,to the x11-misc/xosview-1.8.3 ebuild source and tested the patched ebuild successfully with my own battery.)
