Hello Matthias, Matthias Grimm [2007-07-07 19:01 +0200]: > The phenomenon you reported is not a bug of pbbuttonsd. It is a > design error of gnome power manager.
Well, not exactly. It's just two commonly installed programs which do the same task. > Please file a bug there to change gnome-power-manager to a clean > client-server architecture. It is already. g-p-m is only the frontend that controls policy, the actual actions are done through hal. > In this case gpm could use pbbuttonsd's functionality as a > power manager front-end instead of competing with it. I would > accept patches in that direction. Hm, that would be a bit weird, since hal works on all platforms, whereas pbbuttonsd only works on powerpc. Hal is becoming (or already is) the de-facto standard for hardware abstraction and control, so I guess pbbuttonsd should rather use hal's backends in the future. > Your patch disables some of pbbuttons core functions. How so? It only avoids doing duplicate actions, but if g-p-m is not running, its behaviour does not change. Thanks for the discussion, and have a nice Sunday!
