I started writing a reply to this ages ago, but time kind of sapped it up and so I never finished. Anyway: this was pretty much in keeping with my idea: move it into the task switcher (hildon-desktop/other) so that applications which are moved to background are stopped (unless they signal for whatever reason that they need to be kept running, but I'm not even sure that is necessary: if you really need to do background processing constantly, why do it in a GUI application?) This might raise minor inconvenience for application developers that _do_ genuinely need to run something constantly, but it would make life a lot easier for the end-user if it did provide a good boost for battery. -- Robin Burchell http://rburchell.com _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
