GNOME Power Manager - 0.0.3

GNOME Power Manager is a GNOME session daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of the Project Utopia stack. GNOME Power Manager listens for HAL events and responds with user-configurable reactions.

Today I released a GNOME Power Manager 0.0.3 with lots of bugfixes, new features, a new preferences program and lots more. This new version supports wireless mice and keyboards, pda's and the usual laptop batteries...

The website has been greatly updated and contains lots of new screenshots.

There is a source tarball and Fedora RPM's available here.

Please send comments/patches/questions to the mailing list at gnome-power-devel@lists.sourceforge.net - archives are available here.

I wonder..

I wonder if this will allow you to configure power management that will function outside of a gnome session. If not it seems to not be an ideal solution.

There is nothing wrong with userspace applications that fulfill a system need. Designing applications that only support that need when running a graphical desktop seems to have limited usefulness.

Hopefully that is not the case, but it probably depends on Gconf which is a joke. These applications should be using a common backend like Elektra that can be used by any application. It simple and elegant and even shell scripts can be written that easily store and retrieve data.
