hibernate when power is low?

Hi folks,

suspend-to-ram is currently broken on my computer (still looking for help on
this, see my earlier suspend/hibernate thread!).  Fortunately I have
suspend2 working great, due to some ubunt-ized suspend2 kernels available on
the web (don't havet he URL on hand at the moment).  

For the moment, I'd like to make my computer suspend-to-disk if the battery
runs low when I'm away.  But gnome-power-manager, though it allows me to
configure certain options, DOESN'T seem to allow one to choose a specific
command for the "battery critical" event (The one I need is
"/usr/sbin/hibernate -F /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf").

Does anyone know how I might jerry-rig something that will let
gnome-power=manager work but give me control of the particular ocmmands?

thanks,

matt
