battery critical and hibernating dialog

The dialog (attached) has an "ok" and a "cancel" button. This is a case where there's no need for an option, and the presentation of one is confusing. Whether I hit cancel or ok, my battery is still critically low, and my laptop is still going to hibernate momentarily.

Closing this as NOTGNOME. This is the way that Ubuntu's notification system handles non-expiring notifications

Ah, that's why I couldn't find it in the code! Thank you.
