I got inspired bye Alfreds patch to sysutils/xbattbar which changed
xbattbar to use a readonly /dev/apm.
So I patched gnomeapplets battery_applet to do this at it seems to work
fine on -CURRENT at least.

Do any of you know why it was O_RDWR in the first place? I didnt find
any explanation on the gnome cvs commit logs.
