low battery shutdown

[peter at easthope.ca]

When my XO 1.5 shows about 33% charge, the system shuts 
down with no warning.  This is normal behaviour?  I'd 
expect the system to allow the battery to reach a lower 
charge and ultimately warn the user that shutdown will 
be necessary after a predicted lapse.

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Battery_and_power should include 
something about system response to battery charge level.  
Is my system misbehaving?  Are people installing an additional 
package to have a low battery warning?

Thanks,                   ... Peter E.
