Power management failure

Tonight i was hacking on my ibook on my sofa watching Extreme Makeover. Then "peeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww". No more battery.
I haven't received any warning at all. Maybe gnome-power-manager is a bit broken currently on Debian/sid because of hal/s2ram/whatever on ppc. I mean s2ram and hal works, but no the way gpm likes them too (i have to manually run s2ram to suspend). But at least , I would have expected gpm to warn me, and then shutdown my laptop. Yep, i've checked, when the battery level becomes critical, it should have poweroff. But that did not happen.
Now i only trust the battery gauge LEDs.
Happy End: thanks to reiserfs and emacs, i haven't lost a single line of code

Au début de ce mois, à l'invitation de mon ami Luc, RMS est venu donner une conférence sur le logiciel libre dans les locaux de l'UPPA à Pau. Sa conférence portait plus précisément sur les libertés garantie par la GNU GPL et l'Eglise d'Emacs. L'UPPA vient de publier la video (596Mio) de la conférence.
