Status in “pm-utils” source package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
I was running my laptop on battery, and gnome-power-manager displayed a message 
saying that power was critically low and the system would soon shut down. "No 
problem," I thought, "I'll just suspend so I don't lose my place in my work." 
So I clicked on suspend from the menu that appears when you click the user 
switch applet in the upper right. My system suspended fine. Later, I plugged my 
laptop in and opened the lid -- notice that I plugged in the laptop BEFORE 
resuming. After resuming, my laptop immediately shutdown.

Explanation: When gnome-power-manager gave me the message, it either had 
already issued the shutdown command or was about to. So when I clicked suspend, 
I was suspending the laptop *in the middle of the shutdown process*. This plain 
shouldn't be able to happen. Suspend requests in the middle of shutting down 
should be ignored and vice versa. If a power user has a legitimate reason for 
wanting to suspend in the middle of the shutdown process, they can do some from 
the command line, it shouldn't be the default.
