Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Gnome Power Manager puts up notifications in many situations.

Five of these are unusual and important and should be acknowledged, so they 
should be presented as alert boxes instead:
 * “Battery may be recalled”, with text “The battery in your computer may have 
been recalled by %s and you may be at risk. For more information visit the %s 
battery recall website.”, and buttons labelled “Visit recall website” and “Do 
not show me this again".
 * “Battery may be broken”, with text “Your battery has a very low capacity 
(%i%%), which means that it may be old or broken.” and a button "Do not show me 
this again". (This will fix bug 155191 (Battery Broken message cut off).)
 * “UPS Discharging”, with text "The AC power has been unplugged. The system is 
now using backup power." and a button "Do not show me this again".
 * “Sleep Problem”, with text “Your computer failed to hibernate. Check the 
help file for common problems.” or “Your computer failed to suspend. Check the 
help file for common problems.” and containing a "Do not show me this again" 
button and a “Visit quirk website” button.
 * “Power Critically Low”, with text “You have approximately X minutes of 
remaining battery life (Y%). Plug in your AC Adapter to avoid losing data.”, or 
“The battery is below the critical level and this computer will power-off when 
the battery becomes completely empty.”. 

Implementation: Tweak gpm-notify.c so that it uses the #else versions of
the #ifdef HAVE_LIBNOTIFY functions. The design of these alerts could be
improved, but we should not spend time on this now, because the code
will soon be replaced by DeviceKit-power.

Another situation is fairly common, but any response involves the
hardware rather than the software, so it should use a notification
bubble:

 * “Battery Discharging”, “The AC power has been unplugged. The system
is now using battery power.” with a “Do not show me this again” button.
This button should be made conditional on whether the notification
server supports actions.

Two others should put up neither a notification bubble nor an alert, so
their bubbles should be removed:

 * “Sleep warning”, “Your laptop will not sleep if you shut the lid as a 
running program has prevented this. Some laptops can overheat if they do not 
sleep when the lid is closed.”
 * “Battery Charged”, “Your laptop battery is now fully charged”.
