It seems GPM does indeed detect the battery, but still crashes upon start.

You report is not entirely clear. Does gnome-power-manager crash (terminate) when you run it? If so, could you please provide a backtrace as described in: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
It does not terminate, it shows the warnings and the battery tab is missing
** (gnome-power-manager:3440): WARNING **: Error invoking GetAll() to get properties: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success I already had this problem, and the battery section was not display too. I solved it by re-emerging DBus, apparently seems to be a SETUID bit problem but i'm not sure (if a dev from freedesktop herd can confirm please), after re-emerged it all worked perfectly. can you try ?
please try suggestion from bug #5. It sounds like the dbus permissive issue again.
re-emerging dbus-related packages solved for me. My gpm could'n show hibernate and suspend options
I've just re-installed my pc and I have the same problem with gnome-power-manager-2.28.1 Re-emerging dbus didn't solve the problem. But it solves this issue: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222551 /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper couldn't be executed because its rights are set to -rws--x--- and it was run by the user (which isn't in the messagebus group). To fix this issue, I did: # chmod o+x /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
