Power profiles in GNOME power manager, to make it easy to switch between power-saving mode and number-crunching. I am aware this feature was introduced in Vista, which otherwise kind of sucks. Anyways, this is really very helpful in stretching the battery runtime of laptops.
This way, you could easily switch off compiz effects, enable more aggressive CPU scaling, shut down stuff like Bluetooth, etc.
The profiles could be easily accessible via the power manager icon in the panel.
I think of this NOT to be a duplicate of http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4101/ as the goal is rather different.

Utilize the Power Policy Manager, include a GUI for it

The Power Policy Manager gives the user flexible control over power management, which is blatantly missing from GNOME power manager. Having policies to control power management is indefinitely more useful than the "one size fits all" approach of GNOME PM.
This should be leveraged - and possibly a GUI added - to give users more control over their systems power usage.
