Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

The pop-up, warning of hibernation in five minutes if not plugged into AC is sometimes hidden behind other windows.

The last time it happened I was using Firefox,

Thinking about it, the reason I noticed the pop-up was there before the system hibernated was because I was clicking back and forth on different windows anyway at the time, meaning the power warning may have popped up just as I clicked another window, hiding it without me noticing.

If it's that easy to do such a thing though, then maybe the warning dialog should be a modal window?

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
