By re-implementing such "features", not only acpid gets a lot of redundancy, but also upower. And that means unneeded bugs bugs bugs. Nice little approaches and related projects are being killed with one single growing complex system component [*]. SCNR For a desktop distribution, power management should be kept configurable for the individual user, no matter what desktop environment she uses, with a nice settings dialog, just like xfce4-power-manager does. XFPM uses DBus to call the power functionalities and it doesn't matter what backend is there to implement those power functions, e.g. consolekit/upower or (some part of) systemd. IMHO There should be more love available for systemd support from the general non-Gnome developers site. -R.
