I think that is Critical Bug, since it can cause both data loss and file system corruption if the user doesn't shut down manually in time.

Why would this be critical? Gnome-power-manager warns when battery goes below 20 minutes, so you know you will be losing your work if you don't connect the cable within 20 minutes. gnome-power-manager also has options to suspend your laptop when you're low on battery power.

I remember having these "connect power now or you will lose work!" warnings with gnome 2.22, but have never seen them with 2.24.

But on low battery power, no warnings, no suspend, no shutdown. Actions on critical battery isn't triggered. Power is lost and laptop powers off suddenly.
I have installed fedora 10 in other partition on same laptop, and have the same issue. In Ubuntu 8.10 works fine, with /apps/gnome-power-manager/use_time_for_policy in false (for percent based policy).

Mysteriously, after the last update, notifications and actions on critical battery are working properly!
