Description Rafael 2012-04-22 14:17:19 UTC 
If I start KDE with the laptop battery already in critical low of charge, then there is no warning about it, neither the configured action for critical battery charge is executed (for instance, suspend or hibernate). Therefore, after some minutes, the computer power falls down suddently causing possible data loss.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the computer when the battery charge is already under the configured critical percentaje.
2. Begin to work as usually, and see how any notification wanrs you about the battery charge state.
3. After some minutes, if you don't pay atention to the battery applet, the computer power will fall down without having time to save your data.
Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
If the computer is started with the battery charge already in critical low, the user should receive some warning about it, and the critical low action shoud be executed (for instance, hibernate).

Using KDE 4.7.4 on Debian sid.

Hmm, why didn't the commit hook "BUG: 298604" close this report?   Kai, you don't have the permission of closing bugs on b.k.o ? Then you probably should ask sysadmins for it .
