Battery and bluetooth icon doubled

Hi,

I have clean Xubuntu 13.04 64bit installation. Some days ago I noticed second battery icon which always is red (0%) and second bluetooth icon which is black (see image). Bluetooth issue solved by removing wrong manager from autostart. But don't know how to remove battery. Each icon has same context menu and same about (unlike bluetooth where each was different app).

[EDIT]: I have unchecked "run gnome services", it was checked but uncheck doesn't solve the problem

Re: Battery and bluetooth icon doubled

Interesting twist. I bought new mouse few days ago, with bluetooth. I turn off it, restarted laptop and second battery icon is not showing, when I turn on mouse, then red battery icons is showing and info that power is off. Who understand linux

Re: Battery and bluetooth icon doubled

I run linux mint XFCE. Have a double battery icon too.

When I remove my wireless mouse - it dissapears.

It seems that the power manager in XFCE didnt yet implement the dual battery management (laptop+mouse). That is why we have 2 betteries.
Or, this is their way of implementing it...

Re: Battery and bluetooth icon doubled

I also have the double battery icon when using a wireless mouse.  The meter is trying to show the strength of the battery in the mouse, but it is not fully functional yet.
The double icon shows in several different distros, so it is not a Mint or Xubuntu issue.  Actually in my case I have a visible icon and a blank icon.  I have a Logitech Wireless mouse and when I unplug the nano receiver, the second icon goes away.
