Hi,

after upgrading to gnome-2.4.2 (and gnome-applets 2.4.2) I receive a
"Can't access ACPI events in /var/run/acpid.socket!" error when starting up gnome.

The error occurs when trying to initialize the battery status app (which is placed in the gnome-panel here).
The error also appears when I start the app manually.

Any known problems whith this?

Could it be acpid that is not working?

Well at least it is started. And it worked just fine before updating gnome, so my guess is it would be more of a gnome related problem?!

Well it could be. I mean: I have that advice when I load the applet and acpid is not running. I've searched the gnome bugs but I don't find anything related.
