After I unplugged my lapper yesterday, I realized how annoying the power 
manager is.
Since somewhere early to mid FC4, I suppose a driver was buggered up and 
my battery
capacity level is no longer detected properly.  So it thinks the power 
will run out in 15
mins of usage, but it can run for another 45 or so.  If you disable the 
auto suspend or
shutdown you are flogged with a warning message every few seconds about 
low battery.

I was researching how to customize the notify-daemon, but i have not 
come up with
anything yet.
