Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

My battery was running low today and I observed a number of terribly, awful looking dialogs. I believe these are notify-osd's fallbacks, which should not be trusted and loudly scream "FIX ME!" (by replacing them with solutions handled by the application).
Screenshot is attached.

There are a number of issues with this dialog box. Prominent for me is that it is absolutely not consistent with other dialog boxes in the system. Instead of a title for the window title it has the application name. It has two buttons which do the same thing, "OK" and "Cancel", where there should only be a single button: "Close".
