I'm curious to know where gnome-power-manager gets the battery info and state information. If it's getting battery information from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT*/info, we can call this $info, then why does it need a percentage? the info file has the mAh when the battery is low and when it is critical. so why would the percentage matter? if i do cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT*/state, let's call this $state, it shows the current mAh of my battery. so if $state is below the $info.lowbattery or $info.criticalbattery then action should be taken. it seems to me that the percentage values should be made irrelevant. i mean, does the info file not always contain the critical and low battery mAh on all systems?
