There are gconf keys :  apps -> gnome-power-manager ->  thresholds

Is there one for what level to start recharging at?  My battery manager
under Windows suggests that the level should be allowed to drop to about
80% before recharging, to maximize battery life.  But Linux seems to
want to recharge at about 97%.

Huh? Whether or not my battery is charging depends on whether it's getting AC power. If it's on AC power, it charges. When the battery is full it stops charging, and from that point it runs on AC power, without taking the juice from the battery.
