           Summary: Battery widget shows two batteries, laptop and mouse,
                    but they look the same.
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: gerbilsoft verizon net


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.2.2 (Gentoo 4.2.2 p1.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have a ThinkPad T60p with one system battery. I also have a Logitech MX1000 wireless mouse. The battery widget was showing two batteries, one at 14% and one at 99%, and I was quite confused as to why it was showing a second battery at such a low charge. Using lshal I found the culprit, the MX1000.

Suggested fix: Either the MX1000 battery should be hidden from view, or it should have an emblem marking that it's a mouse battery. (Or make it an option.)
