Screen is on, but dimmed.
Powertop is showing lots of wakeups for E, so I was tryinng to lower the
amount (unless 200-ish event/s is normal for E)

Attached are the only widgets I'm running. Is there a way for me to know
which one(s) could cause up to 200 wakeups per second?

I see debian now has E 0.27.1, will that help my situation potentially?
I can look at upgrading and hoping it doesn't bring new version related
problems :)
