So far I've encountered 3 anomalies related to booting up on battery
power:

1) /proc/cpuinfo; is this just cosmetic?

2) focus-follows-mouse in fvwm2 behaves erratically, for example, not
   giving focus to a window that popped up under the pointer.  Have to
   drag mouse over window frame to obtain focus.

3) Reports hw_addr of 00:00:00:00:00:00 for Farallon ethernet card.
   The correct hw_addr is used if booted on external power.

These conditions (frustrations) persist even if the power supply is
plugged in after booting from battery.
