Comment 6 for bug 1100546

I just updated to 13.10 and was hit by this bug, so I coded a patch that introduces a new configuration setting and menu alternative to prefer laptop batteries over other devices, regardless of (dis)charging status.

It's in this branch, based on 13.10 (since I didn't know if there might be incompatibilities with testing 14.04 code in a stock Ubuntu):
