Bug Description

After updating the kernel (because of problems with Gala and my Intel GPU) suddenly Elementary OS displayed a low battery warning (on my desktop computer that has no battery) which seems to be the battery level of my bluetooth (apple) keyboard and magic trackpad. This seems to affect the speed of the computer as it thinks its running on battery power, and when bluetooth batteries go low bluetooth peripherals become unresponsive, and a bit later the computer suspends/hibernates abruptly.

The problem seems to have been fixed in Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 but was not pushed to 12.04 for some reasons.
