Could someone explain the full effect of the "gconftool ..." command? The page http://live.gnome.org/GnomePowerManager/FAQ says to use it if my battery is faulty, but my battery gives consistent results -- except I get the bogus alert when I disconnect the external power. (Is there way to tell whether this is a battery glitch or a upower issue?)

I want low power alerts when my battery runs down, just not the bogus report. I'm worried that I will lose the correct alerts if I use the "gconftool ..." command.

Ubuntu 10.10, Dell Studio laptop.
