I had the same problem and it took me a while to find out that in

	/usr/share/applications/battery.desktop

changing the line

	Categories=Application;System;
to
 	Categories=Application;


makes the icon apear (at least for me;).

also have a look on

     http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1718

in case of python (pygtk) errors...



I have no idea what's about the "system" category icons,
if/when/where the should show up.  in my Om 2008.8 setup
I have two more such "system" desktop files:

  assassin.desktop
  qtopia-clock.desktop

any hints on the desktop icon/category stuff ?
