Sound good for us as KPowersave/powersave developers. KPowersave is since years the default powermanagement fontend/solution under KDE on SUSE. We would be happy if KPowersave could also replace klaptop on an other distribution. ;-) > klaptopdaemon is quite horrible code-wise, so it's good to consider > removing it.

Yes, it was written for SUSE (But it's also available for ALT Linux, Debian, K/Ubuntu, Fedora and IMO somewhere for Gentoo). We work permanently on porting K/Powersave to other dists. Help would be really appreciated [1]. IMO the path for the powersave config files is configurable now with a configures switch, so you don't need to use /etc/sysconfig/ . > Other than that, kpowersaved looks great, and I'd like to see it in Kubuntu > Dapper.

If you have any patches send them to the powersave-devel mailinglist and we integrate them to the source for the next release. If you need any help to get KPowersave and powersave running on Kubuntu feel free to contact [1] or me directly. Cheers, Danny Kukawka P.S. Please CC me if you answer, I'm not subscriped to kubuntu-devel ML.
