log which shows erroneous critical battery actions with AC

I just tested current gpm wrt. triggering the "critical charge action" (suspend
for me). That worked fine, it suspended when the charge level was about 1.3%
(below 5% my battery/dkp don't seem to be able to calculate remaining time,
which is why it falls back to percentage; all fine here).

It's a little late (gconfified action percentage is 2%), and the second-last
notification about "in 2 minutes" is not really correct, but it worked:

While it was suspended, I plugged in AC and resumed. Now gpm immediately gave
me the "battery is critically low" notice again and suspended again:

(Battery is critically low.)

So for that time it seems that dk-p got a little confused and didn't update the
"discharging" state fast enough (it has "charging" in the history, and "power
supply: yes"). However, now it immediately auto-suspended a third time:

and here dk-p gave the right info.
