How can we define idle? Do we take into account: 1. CPU 2. Disk activity 3. Network activity or all of them? How can we get this information in a arch/driver/system-independent way? > o The end-user preferences capplet should have the notion of profiles > only if there is more than one power source > - running on mains / running on laptop battery / running on UPS Why do we need profiles? Can not the veto stuff automatically set different modes through logic? Is what I've done currently the right sort of profile thing or is there a better way.
