for experiences of whether it's more reliable or not.
klaptopdaemon is quite horrible code-wise, so it's good to consider removing
it.
I've installed kpowersave today, and it seems quite nice. I'm using suspend2
[S2], however, together with the hibernate script, and I needed a quite
hackish solution to be able to hibernate from kpowersaved. That bit is easier
with klaptopdaemon.
Also, it seems to have been written for SuSE, one of the warning dialogues I
ran across mentions /etc/sysconfig/... which we of course don't have.
Other than that, kpowersaved looks great, and I'd like to see it in Kubuntu
Dapper. I think with some minor changes, it would be a nice replacement for
klaptopdaemon, which is pretty much unmaintained.
