gpm complains about critical power level at 100% battery

[steehle]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I'm running latest packages (2.28.0-0ubuntu1) on Karmic, and my laptop is a Compaq Presario X1000 (X1007EA to be precise). My battery is fully charged, but when I unplug external power it takes about 1-2 minutes before gpm claims that the power is critically low and will hibernate computer in 4 minutes. (Even though gpm reports battery level at about 98-99%). If I don't connect external power gpm will continue with the hibernation after 4 minutes, which is quite annoying since I can't take my laptop with me as I use to do.

I resolved this problem by setting use_time_for_policy to false.

The same like in my case with LG X110
