Now I think I'm beginning to understand. I installed the powerprefs
package, but I don't think that it made any difference. But I found in
the panel preferences a battery meter applet. Unfortunately it doesn't
seem to support my machine (PowerBook G3 Lombard). It pops up a
battery low message box, even when the battery is full. The following
messages appear at boot:

Enabling laptop mode...cat:
