Okay, basically, it looks like you had an Advanced Monitor install glitch. This is what my status-menu.pluging looks like:
Code:
[clock-plugin.desktop]
X-Desktop-File=/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/clock-plugin.desktop
X-Status-Area-Permanent-Item=Clock
X-Status-Menu-Position=3

[location.desktop]
X-Desktop-File=/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/location.desktop
X-Status-Area-Position=11
X-Status-Menu-Position=8

[hildon-status-menu-usb.desktop]
X-Desktop-File=/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/hildon-status-menu-usb.desktop
X-Status-Area-Position=12
X-Status-Menu-Position=9

X-Status-Area-Position=17
X-Status-Menu-Position=17
Keep in mind when you look through the above that I added two things, and moved the order of stuff around (by changing the position numbers). However, in general, it's useful. Namely this part:
Code:
[advanced-power.desktop]
X-Desktop-File=/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/advanced-power.desktop
X-Status-Area-Permanent-Item=Special-Item-1
X-Status-Menu-Position=1
What you can do is, as root, copy your status-menu.plugins.ap as status-menu.plugins, and then replace the part that says:
Code:
[status-area-applet-battery.desktop]
X-Desktop-File=/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/status-area-applet-battery.desktop
X-Status-Area-Permanent-Item=Special-Item-1
X-Status-Menu-Position=1
with the above chunk (the one you're replacing tells hildon to use the original battery, one you're replacing it with tells hildon to use the Adv. Power one).

Or you can try uninstalling and reinstalling advanced power. The status menu getting messed up is probably a one-time glitch.

tomchiverton: I don't think it's possible. The advanced power battery display is 'better' than the stock mainly because of what the daemon does. I wouldn't worry about it influencing performance or battery. The N900 firmware has a bunch of daemons in it already.
