No icon in taskbar for Xfce-Power-Manager 4.16.0

[philmmanjaro]

• Distribution (version): Manjaro 21.0-pre1
• Desktop environment: Xfce
• Installing method: distribution package
• App name (version): xfce4-power-manager 4.16.0

Power-Manager changed the way on how to use icons for it's taskbar plugin. See also here: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/-/commit/c5755b024e067eaa39e7c7cfc8c189e9a983ed7d

It's strange, because icons battery-level-*-symbolic available

@philmmanjaro Or now used non-symbolic icons? How it's looking with default XFCE icon theme?

I have the same issue on Debian testing with XFCE 4.16.

@rauldipeas Please report about this on gitlab xfce. Also maybe need testing with other themes too

I think XFCE is using upower now. For example my output would be:

[phil@development x86_64]$ upower -d

  native-path:          hidpp_battery_0

    warning-level:       none
    battery-level:       normal
    percentage:          55% (should be ignored)
    icon-name:          'battery-low-symbolic'

Device: /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/DisplayDevice
  power supply:         no
  updated:              Sa 02 Jan 2021 10:32:49 CET (4415 seconds ago)
  has history:          no
  has statistics:       no
  unknown
    warning-level:       none
    icon-name:          'battery-missing-symbolic'

Daemon:
  daemon-version:  0.99.11
  on-battery:      no
  lid-is-closed:   no
  lid-is-present:  no
  critical-action: PowerOff

So the second device for DisplayDevice calls the following icon: battery-missing-symbolic. That would explain why it is shown. So mouse_hidpp_battery_0 is totally ignored.

Got the same issue after an upgrade from Debian Buster xfce to Debian Bullseye. No icon for xfce power management.

The problem seems to vanish with a clean install, or by starting from a clean profile (with a new user). Anyone confirms ?
