Well, there are a few bugs lying around, and obviously regressions from
a user interface point of view. I think I'll probably end up at least a
'don't show label' for the status icon. Perhaps other options will be
added in time like 'run command when battery gets low' or something
[shrug].

Yeah, this is basically a copy of the XScreensaver stuff using DPMS.
Unlike the screensaver stuff, I poll to make sure the UI updates when
someone uses the screensaver UI or xset - I wasn't aware of anything
being put in gconf. Maybe this could be a settings daemon thing? [shrug]

Yeah, not right now - see above ;)
