Weird Gnome power manager behavior

[Ulissis Gomes Corrêa]

I got the same problem in a Acer Aspire 4530 with Fedora 11 and GNOME.
Looks like the monitor get lost when it changes the status from
charging to discharging and the opposite too. In KDE the problem
doesn't happen, so I guess it can be a problem in the Gnome Power
Manager.
