In "Xfce Power Manager", "Settings", "System" tab, it has
a section called "Critical power".  Your choices are

Critical Power Lever xx%

       Do nothing
       Suspend
       Hibernate
       Shutdown
       ask

Seems to me it is actually doing somersetting.  What am I
missing?   (I have mine set on 10% and Shutdown.)
