[solved] Battery-Monitor applet doesn't work anymore in new Beta2

Hi @ all,

just installed the new Beta2 using the graphical installer. I'm using Xubuntu 6.06.
If I try to add the battery-monitor to the panel, it disappears immediately if I close
the configuration window that appears after the applet is added.

Any suggestions???  :?

Thanks for the fast reply . I tried the version from the snapshot you mentioned , but
with no success  :-(. The applet still disappears after closing the configuration dialog.
I checked the optimization option in the installer so I guess I have no debug support?
Otherwise I'd try to follow this suggestion:

Any other suggestions?  :?

I've fixed the bug and fixing some other problems atm. I'll release a
beta version when I'm done.
