Now I think I'm beginning to understand. I installed the powerprefs package, but I don't think that it made any difference. But I found in the panel preferences a battery meter applet. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to support my machine (PowerBook G3 Lombard). It pops up a battery low message box, even when the battery is full. The following messages appear at boot:
Enabling laptop mode...cat: /sys/class/power_supply/PMU_battery_0/alarm: No such file or directory [: 1038: Illegal number: [: 1038: Illegal number: Failed to determine battery charge.
