Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
I am using Gutsy Tribe 5. On Feisty, everything works as expected.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 510m. Apparently it has two battery bays, although I have only ever had one battery in it.
I have set the preference to shut down on critical and to hibernate on critical. In both cases it just runs down to nothing and powers off.

Toshiba A100-062, one battery, one frustrated user :|
Same here. It also worked fine for me in Feisty. In Gutsy this actually caused me to lose data.
It seems to work if you disable using the time for actions (somewhere in gconf). I do not see why, however, since the estimated time remaining seems quite correct.
However when it reaches ~5 minutes (also the threshold for critical battery) the time remaining is *no longer shown* in the tooltip over the red battery icon. I only see the percentage. As far as I know I am receiving no low battery warnings either (other than the tray icon changing).
This bug should be increased in priority/severity, especially since the workaround can only be accessed through gconf, and not through the UI.
If there is any data I can provide, please let me know.
