[Bug 482774] [NEW] Low energy state has a minimum value of 5 %

[Lars Volker]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xfce4-power-manager

The smallest value of remaining battery power one can set for automatic
shutdown to kick in is 5 %. However, batteries are not that accurate and
usually predict less power than what is available. Also the shutdown
times are far less than remaining time, even when battery is at 1%.
Therefor I'd like to be able to set this value to whatever i want, even
0% would seem reasonable to me. The battery won't be completely drained
when reaching 0% and the remaining power will be enough to shutdown the
system.

Another practical reason: when in standby mode and reaching the critical
level, the system awakes to shutdown. If it is then somehow prevented
from successfully halting, it will continue to run until the battery
fails, thus heating the bag, it might be currently carried in. If i
could set this value to 0%, the heating-time in case of shutdown failure
could be minimized.
