Did an quick and dirty experiment and edited the source file myself and built the upower package and preliminary results are promising.
The gnome power manager now reacts after a while, i think the poll rate is 30s, when i unplug the AC power. Will run this for a while to see that it is not just a coincidence.

This is the line i edited.

diff src/linux/up-device-supply.c src/linux/up-device-supply.c~

I commented out the whole line, it is perhaps not the grandest solution but it seems to work. I have not found any function to call to see if the computer has AC power so i cannot implement that.
