Gnome-power-manager no icon is being displayed

Hi.
I've recently upgraded to Gnome 2.18 from testing and noticed that gnome-power-manager does not display icon for my battery. I've chcecked options and everything seems to be fine. The process itself is also running. After couple of tests I've managed to show icon (killed process and re-run it with --no-daemon option) but after restart the icon was missing. Lshal shows my battery withouth any problem. Does anyone have similar problem??? My system is up-to-date, updated everyday.

In this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=31193

The gnome-power-manager thing is something that appeared after switching to the GtkStatusIcon API. This bug appears because gnome-power-manager starts before the notification area is placed on the panel.

This problem has been picked up already, so perhaps something's already being done before 2.18 goes to the extra repository.

So basically I can write a script which will be launching gnome-power-manager for e.g. 4 sec. after panel and it should work. Kinda dirty trick but it should work:cool:
