Title:
  Reports "Laptop battery critically low" as soon as power supply is
  removed

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  This happened in release 10.04 as well, but not before then IIRC.

  When I remove the power, I get a notification message (? - the thing
  on a black background near the top right hand corner of the screen)
  saying "Battery discharging // 0.03 of battery remaining (95%)".  The
  95% is correct (it can be higher) but the 0.03 (hours.minutes?) is
  nonsense.

  I also get a warning dialogue saying "Laptop battery critically low //
  Computer will hibernate very soon unless it is plugged in."  However,
  the battery icon on the panel shows full, and hovering over it says
  something like "Laptop battery 2:30 left" and that is the correct
  situation - the warning dialogue shouldn't appear for ages.

  As far as I can see, everything in gnome-power-statistics is sensible,
  as are the values sent with this report.
