Created attachment 360030 [details] emerge --info When I boot my system from power-off or reboot, the gnome 3 power applet appears as a broken battery icon (empty battery with a cross in the lower right corner), and then the icon disappears from Gnome 3 panel. The state when I can see the broken battery icon is very brief, I can't make a screenshot, so I took a picture with my smartphone instead. The states when there is no icon is captured. I can put my laptop to sleep and wake it, and then the icon is back and works Ok. It's not working only after a fresh boot.

Logging out and back in also brings the power applet back.

I also suffer this for a long time in a laptop: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694758#c14 but upstream doesn't look to care at all :| (as a side note, you can press Alt+F2+r to restart gnome-shell also)
I upgraded to kernel 3.10.7-gentoo-r1 today. I did a simple "make oldconfig" using the same config file that is attached to this report https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486868#attach_360038 I have Gnome power applet working every fresh boot now. It seems the problem is solved for me. The mouse pointer also appears immediately as soon as I move the mouse. (I tested the BT logitech travel mouse, trackpoint and touchpad).
Pacho can you confirm if kernel update solves the problem (I can't reproduce it)?
Looks solved, indeed, not sure what update fixed it :/
