Bug#932072: gnome-settings-daemon: please allow low battery warnings to be deactivated

[Stephen Kitt]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.30.2-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use Logitech Marathon mice, which work for about two years off one
set of (non-rechargeable) batteries. This means that they spend quite
a while at the 5% level, and g-s-d pops up warnings every few minutes
saying that “Wireless mouse is very low in power (5%). This device
will soon stop functioning if not charged.” This notification doesn’t
even go away on its own, it requires user action, and pops over
anything going on (including full-screen videos).

I’d rather not change batteries prematurely; would it be possible to
deactivate the warning, or at least make it go away on its own?

Thanks,

Stephen
