Batti/Batterymon not behaving as expected

Batti doesn't seem to provide me with any notifications when my bettery level gets low, and I couldn't find any way to configure it. As a result of being unable to  configure Batti, or determine how to get batti to show battery level notifications, I installed batterymon-clone from the AUR. This notifier presented its own set of problems, as it is apparently unable to read my battery level. I thought the problem might be that acpid wasn't running, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Running both batterymon and batti from the terminal returned the following error message:

** (process:7363): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (process:7363): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (process:7363): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GSocketMsgFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

It doesn't prevent the applications from running, but they draw my attention considering neither seems to be working as I hope they would.

Does anyone have any insight into how I might be able to deal with the batterymon problem? If not, does anyone know how I can get batti to show battery level notifications?

EDIT: This post was errantly submitted on this section. I had meant to post it in the Pacman/Packages area. My apologies.

Re: Batti/Batterymon not behaving as expected

Someone else may have an immediate fix, but while you are waiting you may want to search the Arch Linux forums for GSocketMsgFlags.  I saw a lot of posts.  The may not be the same packages as you are looking for but the solutions may inspire you.
