I watched what happens as the battery runs down on my ThinkPad X61. Gnome-power-manager seems to accurately measure the remaining charge until it reaches about 5 percent. After that, it doesn't significantly change. Maybe whatever gpm relies on for its information isn't reporting well…?
If I set the threshold in gconf to 6 percent, hibernation occurs as advertised.
Once again, this is on Ubuntu 9.04 with gpm version 2.24.2-2ubuntu8 and the 2.6.28-13-generic kernel.
