I totally agree; that's what I like about fdpowermon: the simplicity, that it does one job, and that the code is short and simple enough for me to understand. > For that, I think the feature should be off by default, and generic > enough that it can be used for more than just battery level -- I dunno, > some kind of event system or some such. > > Additionally, if I'm going to implement this, this feature should > probably be configurable on a per-user basis, rather than just > system-wide. Ack, a per-user config would be nice in general, and turning it off by default also make sense to me. Thanks for considering this feature request! Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
