Problem with battery monitor plugin

Hi guys

I'm using XFCE in Xubuntu on my work laptop and it's working great. Only problem is the battery monitor plugin. If the battery gets low it pops up a dialog warning me. It seems that this is done in the same thread as the plugin's display as the % remaining figure in the applet doesn't decrease until I OK the dialog box. This becomes a problem when the dialog never appears on top (eg when I'm running rdesktop), or if it is coming up while I'm switching desktops meaning I don't see it. That means I never get the Critical warning, and the percent in the bar isn't updated; then black screen - no battery.

Not sure if this is the place to post this..

Cheers
Brad
