Power Manager Gauge Disappears on Explorer Restart

I've noticed this little bug for a while, but it gets really annoying sometimes (and it's still present in the newest version).

First off, I'm running Vista 32 on a T400 with switchable graphics.

Whenever Explorer restarts (crashes, theme change, program installation, etc.), the power gauge does not reappear until I restart the computer. How anyone figured out a way to fix this?

One other question:

Is there a way to switch the graphics card without the power manager gauge? I cannot find an option in the Power Manager or anywhere else, but it seems strange Lenovo would limit the option to that battery icon.

Thank you for all your help.

Not sure if it's compatible with Vista, but I use 'winresq' for disappearing systray icons on XP.
