I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and I did this to solve the problem:

On Configuration Editor (gconf-editor)
I've set the followed keys:
/apps/gnome-power-manager/general/use_time_for_policy (false)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_low (15)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_critical (12)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/thresholds/percentage_action (10)
/apps/gnome-power-manager/actions/critical_battery (hibernate)

This means that when my battery reaches 15% GPM will show a "low battery warning", at 12% it will show a "Critical battery warning" and at 10% it will put my system to hibernate. I have a li-ion battery and use 10% to prevent damage to it.

I think that there should be a way to set these values directly on GPM, not just via gconf-editor
