On Natty, my problem is somewhat similar. I have set gnome-power-manager
icon policy to "Low" (only show battery icon on panel when its low) &
"use_time_for_policy" to "False" & finally modified thresholds %(20=low,
15=critical battery, 10=critical action).
- At 20%. it shows 'low battery warning' notification along with low
battery indicator on panel but only when i am NOT watching
a movie full-screen. And sometimes it doesn't show the notification or
the indicator at all, even if i am not watching a movie.
- At 15%, it doesn't show anything.
- At 10%, low (or critical?) dialog box appears. At this point, if I run
gnome-power-statistics it shows 0% power remaining
(which might be another bug). Since critical action has already been
triggered, it suspends the machine regardless what i select
on the dialog box.
On 12.04, at 20%, low battery notification is consistent, but again only when
I am NOT watching a movie full-screen.The rest are
same as Michael described.

Title:
Low and Critical battery warnings show at the same time, Laptop
hibernates anyway
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When my battery gets low (I'm not sure of the actual %age value), 2
dialogue boxes show, one for 'low battery', and the other for
'critical battery'. Leaving these dialogue boxes open, I quickly rush
over and plug the charger in, however, regardless of weather I click
the 'X', 'Cancel' or 'Ok' (I cant remember the actual button captions,
but they're similar) The laptop hibernates anyway.
The low battery notification in the top right works fine at around
15%, but I usually forget to do anything until I'm interrupted by the
2 dialogues, but by then it's too late, and the laptop will hibernate.
I have also tried to edit the low and critical battery percentage
triggers in dconf (or gconf?) without success, the low and critical
values were set to different levels, however it appears that the
change was not recognised by gnome-power-manager.
What I Expected:
==============
- At 15%, the 'Low battery' warning would show in the top right.
- At 10%, A 'Low battery' dialogue should show, offering the user to
'Suspend' or 'Do nothing'
If the user presses 'Suspend', then suspend
If the user presses 'Do Nothing' then do nothing (i.e. don't
hibernate)
- At 5%, Show a 'Critical battery' dialogue, with a countdown showing
the time until the computer will begin hibernation.
However, the dialogue should automatically dismiss if the laptop is
plugged into AC while either dialogue is being shown.
What Happened Instead:
===================
1) The battery level was around 15%.
2) I Ignored the 'low battery warning' notification in the top right.
3) When the battery got to around 10%, The 2 'low' and 'critical' dialogue
boxes appeared together.
4) I tried to close the dialogues without the laptop entering hibernation.
5) The laptop went into hibernate regardless of what I do.
