Thanks for all of the data, that helps a lot. From looking at the log
it looks like the last time that GPM gets notified of a battery level
that it's at 8 percent and that the discharge rate doesn't make it
"action level". This is likely caused by the battery being old.

What I'd recommend is adjusting your thresholds so that actions happen
sooner on your battery. The values that are probably most useful are
the GConf keys:

    /apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_action
 /apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_critical
 /apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_low

For you it seems like 10, 15 and 20 would probably be good values.
