Yes, very possible. When the battery gets "action" low - i.e. when the
action is performed, we tell the user what will happen.

This is what we have at the moment:

title = _("Laptop battery critically low");
remaining = gpm_get_timestring (unit->time_discharge);
message = g_strdup_printf (_("You have approximately <b>%s</b> of remaining battery life (%d%%). "
			     "Plug in your AC adapter to avoid losing data."),
			   remaining, unit->percentage);

Does it make sense to have:

message = g_strdup_printf (_("You have approximately <b>%s</b> of remaining battery life (%d%%). "
			     "Plug in your AC adapter to avoid losing data."
			     "In %s your computer will automatically suspend due to low power"),
			   remaining, unit->percentage, time_until_action);

Comments please!
