Same here. It also worked fine for me in Feisty. In Gutsy this actually caused me to lose data.

It seems to work if you disable using the time for actions (somewhere in gconf). I do not see why, however, since the estimated time remaining seems quite correct.

However when it reaches ~5 minutes (also the threshold for critical battery) the time remaining is *no longer shown* in the tooltip over the red battery icon. I only see the percentage. As far as I know I am receiving no low battery warnings either (other than the tray icon changing).

This bug should be increased in priority/severity, especially since the workaround can only be accessed through gconf, and not through the UI.

If there is any data I can provide, please let me know.
