I have a Thinkpad T20 with two batteries. With Feisty, things seem to
work OK. The battery monitor shows me both the battery levels, and I
have definitely run it down past the first battery.

<thinks>

However, I recall using the fix relating to this value:

 /apps/gnome-power-manager/use_time_for_policy

So, the original issue may just be masked for me. However, this
workaround works flawlessly, and I see no reason it couldn't become the
default behavior.
