I don't think this should be seen as a blocker to including 
gnome-power-manager right now. Linux laptop support is starting to get 
reasonable again, and applications like NetworkManager should integrate 
into that. gnome-power-manager is vital to make this sort of thing 
practical.

My only concern is whether there's adequate HAL support for other 
platforms for gnome-power-manager to work properly there. It would be 
unfortunate for things like DPMS settings to end up Linux-only.
