Richard, please think about your current opinion and maybe try to help to
get a good solution for the GNOME desktop which usees one common backend.
gnome-power-manager is a 400k binary. It uses gconf to store a few
daemon settings and preferences.
HAL does all the heavy lifting doing all the quirks and talking to stuff
in /proc and /sys.
g-p-m is like the cherry on the cake, small and simple.
It really doesn't do much more than:
"If battery charge < 10% then notify the user"
"If battery charge < 5% then suspend if HAL thinks we can"
I really don't see what the big issue is.
