So, my personal concern about gnome-power-manager is lack of integration. What does it mean? gnome-power-manager provides a nice notification area icon. What is its relation to the battery status applet? It makes no sense to have both. This is a (big) integration issue, IMHO. There were also some notes that g-p-m depends on latest HAL and kernel. This might not be an option for everyone (especially the latest kernel). Now, don't get me wrong: I really want to see g-p-m go in. I'll be glad to use it on my laptop since my distribution is shipping it. Not being in the desktop should not be the end of the world for g-p-m, and I don't think it is (I'm using tons of rocking programs that are not in the desktop).
