Access more options via Gnome Power Manager

Question

im running Ubuntu 11.10 & am using the Gnome interface. I have installed the Gnome power manager and I am assuming this is it:

This doesn't have that many options. I've seem some screen shots of the power manager and they seem to show the gnome power manager with alot of the options I want to have control over. So my over question is this: is this the gnome power manager & if it is, then how can I access more options?

Edit:

the other screen shot I am referring to is the one available when viewing the gnome power manager via Synaptic, or even something like this

Solution

The second screenshot you have referred to is the "old" Gnome-2 style Power Manager screen.

The Gnome-3 developers took a close look at the various Gnome applications and re-wrote and/or redesigned many applications.

The various applets that made up the Gnome-2 control panel were brought together under the System Settings gnome-control-center application. It was this move that has resulted in the simplification of the power-management screen.

Many of the Gnome-2 power-management options you were familiar with are still available - but have been tucked away in either gconf-editor or dconf-editor

gconf-editor

Navigate to apps.gnome_settings_daemon.plugins

ALT+F2 and type gconf-editor to launch this application.

dconf-editor

Navigate to org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power

Install dconf-tools and use ALT+F2 and type dconf-editor to launch this application

Not sure if I have the ability to 'bump' this question, but the other screen shot I am referring to is the one available when viewing the gnome power manager via Synaptic, or even something like this library.gnome.org/users/gnome-power-manager/stable/figures/…

Thank you fossfreedom, using your walkthrough I was able to find the hidden options using dconf editor.
