Description

xfce4-power-manager handles all batteries managed by upower, which also includes attached devices such as wireless mice. When the state of such a device changes, it shows a notification such as "Your Battery is discharging". This can be confusing. One can assume that the laptop charger just broke or the cable is faulty, when in fact it was juwt the mouse :)

Power Manager should probably only show notifications for devices with the PowerSupply flag set to true. Or alternatively, include the device name in the notification so the user can distinguish power events.

Thanks!
