Hi,

I'm having this weird problem. I don't know if anyone has come across this.

The situation is as follows:

1. Laptop (not on power) runs low on battery
2. Warning dialogue pops up saying the system will Hibernate if I don't
plug in. I ignore the warning. ( No clicking OK or Cancel )
3. Multiple warning dialogues pop up one after the other. Ignore them
all .. Don't close or click buttons.
4. Critical warnings pop up ( n number of times )
5. System hibernates. I plug it in and then switch it on.
6. I give the password. The system is live. I can see all the warning
dialogue boxes still open.
7. Again hibernates abruptly. I switch it on..
8. Again and again it hibernates as many times as the number of critical
dialogue boxes that popped up.

I drained most of the battery and then switched it on ( not on power) to
test it. I got only two critical warnings. And then it hibernated
exactly twice.. I can replicate the problem in my Dell Laptop with
Ubuntu LTS 10.04 installed with all the latest updates.

I kept an application open just in case.

Here are my power settings while on battery:

* Never put computer to sleep
* When battery is low, hibernate.
* When lid is closed, suspend.

Is this a Gnome problem or an Ubuntu problem? Any clues??
