This applet is quite nice, however, the strings could use some de-
l33tifier (unless we expect our users to know what a "userspace
governor" is), and it's not clear whether an additional daemon (like
cpufreq) is needed, or if it replaces it.

For longer term, see my rant in the Red Hat bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131537#c4

Basically, there shouldn't be an applet...
