I think we should give vendors a choice for the time being. He also raises excellent points about what gnome-power-manager is (that is, it is very GNOME centric). When I first envisioned something like this, I named it PowerManager and like its namesake NetworkManager it was to be largely platform independant. Ideally it would offer perhaps a capplet and some manner of system for notifications, but other than that would not be intrusive on a GNOME desktop. This is unfortunately not how it works. Usually I propose that a good solution today is better than a great solution tomorrow, but I think in this case we should show some pragmatism, before we commit to path that none of our vendors or any other desktops want to share. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
