It looks like you are running FC3 as well, since your gnome-applets version is 2.8. I know that at least for FC2, the "Battery Charge Monitor" does not seem to exist for the x86_64 version, for whatever reason. It is quite annoying, as I have had my laptop die a couple of times due to the battery loosing power. I was hoping it would be in FC3, but if you are running x86_64, it looks like it may not be. It seems I remember it being there in the i386 version that I installed on my desktop (a lot of good it does me there). I've tried compiling it from source, but have not succeeded due to dependency problems. Anyway, could this be your problem? Does anyone know why the x86_64 FC gnome-applets does not contain the battery applet? Jonathan
