Comment 7 for bug 579069

I applied the gconf workaround (ran in a terminal as the current user), and it seems to fix the problem, for the time being.

I notice that it will still report the battery as 100% charged with only 2 minutes remaining, but it will not suspend; it acts as if the battery is not at a critical level anymore. I guess the gnome-power-manager package needs to be patched with a fix for Lucid.
